History and application:
The Hawker Hurricane Mk IIC was a British single-seat fighter aircraft used during World War II by the RAF as well as other Commonwealth air forces and Allied air units. The IIC variant, introduced to the front in 1941, was equipped with four 20mm Hispano-Suiza cannons, significantly increasing its firepower. These aircraft took part in combat over Western Europe, during the defense of Malta, in the Far East, and in North Africa. Hispano Mk II cannons were the standard armament of Allied air forces for most of WWII.
