Description

Although its reputation was never that of the Spitfire, the Hawker Hurricane matched the best aircraft of Britain's enemies at just the moment of her greatest crisis. It was on the Hurricane that the greatest burden of responsibility rested to withstand the onslaughts by Germany, Italy, and Japan, buying time for survival while the arsenals of the West could forge the weapons of victory.

 

The miracle of the Hurricane was that it was a match for the enemy while still employing a somewhat outmoded form of construction. That form of construction was adopted to get the Hurricane into massive production when it was needed most—when Britain had to halt the Luftwaffe in 1940-41. The Hurricane went on to fight in more campaigns, on more fronts, and in more theaters and countries than any other airplane in the Second World War.

 

The Hawker Hurricane is fully illustrated with over 200 photographs, maps, and diagrams and includes comprehensive appendices on Hurricane test flights, production, and service, along with a new foreword by the author.
