Hawker Hector – history and application

The Hawker Hector is a British biplane reconnaissance and ground-attack aircraft developed for the Royal Air Force at the turn of the 1930s. It was designed as a successor to the Hawker Audax and equipped with a distinctive, V-shaped Napier Dagger engine, which set it apart from other aircraft of its class. The first units entered service in 1937, and the last were withdrawn shortly after the outbreak of World War II. The Hawker Hector played a significant role during the Munich Crisis, operating mainly in Great Britain and during the French campaign in 1940, supporting reconnaissance units and infantry.
