Description
The Hawker Hurricane: A Fighter's True Story In 1939, as the Second World War broke out, the Hawker Hurricane was already in action. This versatile fighter aircraft played a pivotal role in Britain's war effort, far beyond its reputation for bravery in dogfights. From its early days in France to its later exploits in Russia and Southeast Asia, the Hurricane proved itself an invaluable asset. Adrian Stewart brings to life the story of this remarkable plane, revealing its many roles - as a fighter, bomber, anti-tank aircraft, and even used at sea. He also tells the tale of the outstanding pilots who flew it, whose skill and bravery were instrumental in mastering the skies and securing victory. This is a gripping account that sheds new light on an often-overlooked hero of the war. With its varied theatre of operations and impressive range of capabilities, the Hawker Hurricane's story is one of fascinating adventure and achievement.
