The Supermarine Walrus was a remarkable amphibious biplane that served in various roles during World War II. It was designed by R. J. Mitchell, the same engineer who created the famous Supermarine Spitfire fighter. The Walrus could take off and land on water or land, and it had a fully retractable landing gear and an enclosed cockpit. It was powered by a single Bristol Pegasus engine mounted above the wing, which drove a four-bladed pusher propeller. The Walrus was used for reconnaissance, spotting, air-sea rescue, and anti-submarine warfare by the British and Commonwealth forces. It was also the first aircraft to be launched by catapult from a ship with a full military load. The Walrus was a versatile and reliable aircraft that proved its worth in many theaters of war.
