The aircraft entries place late Seafires, the Seafang, and the Supermarine Attacker side by side. A Seafire record dated 25 January 1946 shows that piston fighters were still entering service after the war. The Seafang looks impressive in the book but is described as dangerous to fly, while the Attacker marks the move into jet-powered naval aviation. Together, the entries show late piston designs and early jets advancing at the same time.
