The Hawker Typhoon (Tiffy in RAF slang) is a British single-seat fighter-bomber, produced by Hawker Aircraft. It was intended to be a medium-high altitude interceptor, as a replacement for the Hawker Hurricane but several design problems were encountered and it never completely satisfied this requirement.
The Typhoon was originally designed to mount twelve .303 inch (7.7 mm) Browning machine guns and be powered by the latest 2,000 hp engines. Its service introduction in mid-1941 was plagued with problems and for several months the aircraft faced a doubtful future. When the Luftwaffe brought the formidable Focke-Wulf Fw 190 into service in 1941, the Typhoon was the only RAF fighter capable of catching it at low altitudes; as a result it secured a new role as a low-altitude interceptor.
The Typhoon became established in roles such as night-time intruder and long-range fighter. From late 1942 the Typhoon was equipped with bombs and from late 1943 RP-3 rockets were added to its armoury. With those weapons and its four 20mm Hispano autocannons, the Typhoon became one of the Second World War's most successful ground-attack aircraft.
By 1943, the RAF needed a ground attack fighter more than a "pure" fighter and the Typhoon was suited to the role (and less-suited to the pure fighter role than competing aircraft such as the Spitfire Mk IX). The powerful engine allowed the aircraft to carry a load of up to two 1,000 pounds (450 kg) bombs, equal to the light bombers of only a few years earlier. The bomb-equipped aircraft were nicknamed "Bombphoons" and entered service with No. 181 Squadron, formed in September 1942. Wikipedia

With No. 438 (F) Squadron, RCAF. Served with No. 439 (F) Squadron, RCAF when it was shot down by enemy aircraft at 09:45 on 1 January 1945, near de Rips, Holland, 30 kilometres north-east of Eindhoven, during Luftwaffe operation "Bodenplatte". Flying Officer S. Angelini found dead in burnt wreckage. One of four Typhoons returning from weather recce to St. Vith, encountered 15 to 20 FW190s over Eindhoven. Other three aircraft landed safely at Volkel, as Eindhoven was unservicable after the Luftwaffe attack. At least 4 Luftwaffe aircraft claimed.Samuel 'Sam' Angelini was born on May 12, 1922 in Hamilton, Ontario to Italian immigrants, Alexander and Carmela (nee Seno) Angelini. He had four brothers and three sisters. The family was Roman Catholic. They lived at 195 Park Street North in Hamilton.
Sam stood 5'5" tall and had brown eyes and black hair. He was an assistant theatre manager in Hamilton when he enlisted with the RCAF August 15, 1942.
He trained at No. 5 ITS, Belleville, Ontario. From there he went to #10 EFTS in Pendleton, Ontario. He received his Wings at #8 SFTS Moncton, NB. He was sent to #1 OTU in Bagotville, Quebec.
He was awarded his Pilot's Flying Badge and his commission on October 15, 1943. He was appointed Flying Officer on April 15, 1944 and embarked overseas on May 25, 1944. In November 1944, he was taken on strength with 439 Squadron. He had experience flying the Harvard, Battle, Hurricane and Typhoon.
Based in Holland, Sam Angelini (Yellow 4) was killed on January 1, 1945 when upon returning from an armed recce, his flight encountered between fifteen and twenty German aircraft, engaging in a dogfight. The dog-fight lasted four or five minutes, resulting in Flying Officer Laurence and Flying Officer Fraser each destroying two aircraft. When the action broke off, the aircraft returned to base to find it unserviceable due to enemy action and had to go to Vokel where they landed and were refueled. However, Flying Officer Angelini in Typhoon MN589, was missing and was last heard of in the circuit telling 'Pitchdark' he had 10 gallons of fuel left. It was assumed that he was attacked by unknown enemy aircraft and was not able to outrun or outmaneuver them. He was subsequently found still in his burned out bullet ridden cockpit near Rips, Holland. He had had 14 sorties under his belt. He had not flown since December 5th as he had been in England waiting for the weather to improve so he could fly his Typhoon back to the squadron.
Sam was married to Gertrude and together, they had a daughter, Mary Elizabeth who was born on February 10, 1945, six weeks after Sam was killed. Gertrude wrote a letter to the RCAF and requested that Sam's clothing to be donated to the squadron or to the poor people in Holland.
Sam's funeral was held in Eindhoven, Holland. More information about Sam Angelini can be found in Typhoon and Tempest by Hugh Halliday.
