The Hawker Sea Fury was a Fighter aircraft designed and manufactured by Hawker, one of the fastest production single piston engined aircraft. In 1959 during the Cuban revolution the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAEC) purchased 17 refurbished Sea Furies from Hawker. These
aircraft were briefly flown by FAEC prior to the ousting of President Fulgencio Batista. Following the revolution the Sea Furies were retained by Fuerza Aerea Revolutionaria (Revolutionary Air Force).
