The Fairey Barracuda was manufactured by the Fairey Aviation Company, and was used as a carrier-borne torpedo bomber and dive bomber by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during the World War II. In Operation Tungsten of 1944, 42 Barracudas from HMS Furious and Victorious raided Tirpitz. The aircraft is known for its high-wing style and flaw of spraying leaked hydraulic fluid contained ether into the pilot's face (in old documents this flaw is erroneously described as carbon monoxide leaking from the engine).
