12 Advertisements. FI.TGHT OCTOBER I8TH, It happened in All eyes were on Japan. And none more watchful than those of the Fairey Firefly aircrews who streaked from British carriers to pound and pulverise the Japanese war machine. Oil refineries, shipping, ammunition dumps, food stocks, radar stations, rolling stock — all on the list and all in the day's work for the Firefly long-range reconnaissance fighter, cited as the first British aircraft over Tckyo.
