Welome back to the Militia Historia Podcast and our series WW2: The War That Shaped The World. In this episode we spotlight the Fairey Swordfish, the World War II biplane dubbed "Stringbag," which outshone its antiquated design through pivotal roles in the Battle of Taranto and the pursuit of the Bismarck, proving older aircraft could dramatically impact naval warfare. Join us as we celebrate the courage, durability, and unexpected effectiveness of this iconic aircraft, a true legend of the skies.
