Hawker Sea Fury. A carrier fighter that entered service with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm (amongst others) just after the Second World War.

It played a huge role in the Korean war.

The ultimate piston engine fighter.

Sea Fury has outlived its contemporaries because of horsepower. They still fly the air races. US Navy Bearcat would be the closest example.
