Le Blackburn Firebrand, lui, est rest\u00e9 c\u00e9l\u00e8bre pour avoir compl\u00e8tement manqu\u00e9 la guerre. Con\u00e7u comme chasseur naval, transform\u00e9 en porte-torpilles et livr\u00e9 seulement apr\u00e8s la fin des combats en 1945, il repr\u00e9sente l&#039;un des exemples les plus \u00e9difiants de l&#039;aviation britannique\u00a0: une machine imposante, puissante et profond\u00e9ment d\u00e9laiss\u00e9e, qui n&#039;a jamais tir\u00e9 un seul coup de feu au combat.<\/p>\r\n<p>Ce n&#039;\u00e9tait pas un manque de puissance qui posait probl\u00e8me. Le Firebrand \u00e9tait \u00e9quip\u00e9 de l&#039;un des moteurs les plus puissants que la Grande-Bretagne pouvait installer sur un avion de la marine.
