Historical Significance: The Supermarine Walrus, a key asset of the British Royal Navy, played a crucial role during Operation Torch in 1942. This Allied invasion of French North Africa aimed to secure the region, gain vital ports, and establish a second front against Axis forces. HMS Cumberland, a heavy cruiser, utilized the Supermarine Walrus as its catapult-launched reconnaissance and spotter aircraft. The Walrus provided essential air support by conducting reconnaissance missions, spotting for naval gunfire, and performing search and rescue operations for downed aircrew. During Operation Torch, the Supermarine Walrus aircraft from HMS Cumberland were instrumental in accurately targeting enemy positions and providing covering fire for Allied troops landing on the North African coast. These versatile aircraft also gathered valuable intelligence on enemy movements and conducted air-sea rescue missions, saving the lives of downed Allied aircrew in the Mediterranean.
