Description
The Hawker Hurricane: A Warplane That Won the Day The Hawker Hurricane was Britain's first-ever wartime fighter plane, and it played a crucial role in the Battle of Britain. This aircraft shot down more enemy planes than any other fighter, earning its place as the true aviation hero of the conflict. Despite often being overshadowed by its rival, the Supermarine Spitfire, the Hurricane proved to be a formidable opponent in aerial combat. Its stability, ruggedness and ease of maintenance made it an ideal choice for the RAF, which relied on 32 squadrons of Hurricanes and 19 Spitfires during the war. The Hurricane's reputation as a plane that could withstand significant damage and continue flying was well-deserved. This book tells the historic untold story of the Hawker Hurricane, drawing on documents, letters and first-hand accounts to bring to life the lives of the men and women who designed, built, flew and maintained this iconic warplane.
