The Hawker Hurricane

Although it's reputation was never that of the Spitfire, the Hawker Hurricane matched the best aircraft of Britian's enemies just at 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 and to buy time for survival while the arsenels of the West could forge the weapons of vistory. "The Hawker Hurricane" is fully illustrated with over 200 photographs, maps, diagrams and includes comprehensive appendices of Hurricane test flights, production and service.
