The Hawker Fury was a British biplane fighter used by the Royal Air Force in the 1930s. It was a fast and agile aircraft and one of the first aircraft of the RAF to achieve speeds exceeding 200 mph in level flight. It was the fighter counterpart to the Hawker Hart light bomber. The Hawker Nimrod was a carrier-based biplane fighter which shared many similarities with the Fury.

The Handley Page Type O was a British heavy bomber developed during the First World War and one of the first aircraft designed specifically for long-range strategic bombing. Built to meet the Royal Navy’s need for a large bomber capable of reaching targets deep inside enemy territory, the Type O was one of the largest aircraft in the world when built and laid the groundwork for the future of bomber design.

The Kawasaki Ki-10, designated as Army Type 95 Fighter (九五式戦闘機, Kyūgo-shiki sentōki), was the last biplane fighter adopted by the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA). Introduced in 1935, its exceptional maneuverability and robust design made it a favorite among Japanese pilots during its operational tenure. Its Allied reporting name was “Perry”.
