Faster than the “Spitfire” is England’s new fighter airplane, the “Whirlwind,” a single seater powered by two 850 horsepower engines. Armed with four cannons set in its nose, it has shown remarkable ability in aerial combat, having destroyed many enemy planes in the air and on the ground. It is built for long-range flights, and can accompany bombers as far as Antwerp. One distinguishing feature is the plane's high tail.
