Information

The Hawker Hurricane was the most widely produced and utilized fighter aircraft of the British Royal Air Force at the beginning of World War II. The Hurricane was powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin 12-cylinder, liquid-cooled inline engine delivering over 1,000 HP, enabling it to reach speeds exceeding 500 km/h. Its armament of eight 7.7 mm Browning machine guns provided a solid firepower capability.

Although it was slower and aerodynamically more outdated than its famous counterpart, the Supermarine Spitfire, with which it shared operational duties during the Battle of Britain, the Hurricane was more robust, cost-effective, and easier to maintain and repair. Additionally, it was simpler to fly, allowing for faster pilot training, which played a crucial role in securing victory during the Battle of Britain. Renowned RAF aces such as J. Johnson, W. Vale, and R. Stanford Tuck flew the Hurricane in combat.
