As well as being Armistice Day, today we remember the Battle of Taranto – November 11, 1940 – one of the most daring raids in the history of the Fleet Air Arm. Britain won vital breathing-room during the dark days of the Second World War when it attacked the Italian battleships at anchor at the port of Taranto. Twenty one Fairey Swordfish biplanes from naval air squadrons 815, 819, 813 and 824 took part in the attack from HMS Illustrious. Two of those naval air squadrons (NAS) still exists today
