About the Hawker Hurricane Mk.I:

The aviation hero of the Battle of Britain, the Hawker Hurricane is one of the most significant aircraft in British aviation history - the RAF's first production aircraft to exceed 300mph and the first multi-gun monoplane fighter in RAF service. Thirty-two Squadrons of Hurricanes saw action during the Battle of Britain, where they actually shot down more enemy aircraft than all other defenses combined. While the Spitfire often receives more attention, the Hurricane was the true workhorse of the Battle of Britain, accounting for 60% of RAF air victories during that crucial period. Its rugged construction, stable gun platform, and ease of repair made it beloved by pilots and ground crews alike. The Hurricane's fabric-covered wings and fuselage could absorb significant battle damage and be quickly repaired, keeping more aircraft in the fight.
