Video: Fairey Firefly at Oshkosh

By General Aviation News Staff · July 27, 2019 ·

Frederick A. Johnsen, General Aviation News’ Of Wings & Things columnist, posted this video last week from EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019.

“Here’s a fascinating look at Eddie Kurdziel demonstrating the Griffon engine, wing fold, and maneuvering flap positions on his rare Fairey Firefly. Fireflies first served the Royal Navy in World War II as two-seat fighters. Their mission evolved to ground attack and antisubmarine warfare after the war,” Fred explains.

See other videos from this year’s Oshkosh and more at Fred’s YouTube channel, Airailimages.
