History and Use of the Hawker Hunter

The Hawker Hunter was a British jet fighter that first took to the skies in 1951. Used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the air forces of over 20 countries—including Switzerland, India, and the Netherlands—the Hunter established itself as a highly successful and versatile aircraft. The FGA.9 variant was specially developed during the Cold War period (the 1950s–1970s) in response to the demand for a strike fighter capable of attacking ground targets, particularly in the Middle Eastern RAF bases. These aircraft were seen in action, for example, during the conflicts in Aden (Yemen, the 1960s).
