Description
The Hawker Hurricane: A Warplane That Won the Day The Hawker Hurricane was Britain's first-ever wartime fighter plane and proved to be one of the most successful in aerial combat. Its reputation as a durable and reliable aircraft allowed it to outperform its rival, the Spitfire. During the Battle of Britain in 1940, the Hurricane made a significant impact, with over half of 1,200 German aircraft shot down by Hurricanes. The RAF's reliance on 32 squadrons of Hurricanes and 19 Spitfires highlights the dominance of this aircraft. This book tells the story of the Hawker Hurricane and the people who designed, built, flew, and maintained it. Using documents, letters, and first-hand accounts, this book brings to life the historic untold story of the Hawker Hurricane and its contributors.
