Brief Historical Description

The Hawker Hurricane is a British fighter aircraft designed in the mid-1930s. It was used primarily by the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and India. The aircraft became especially famous during the Battle of Britain in 1940, where it was credited with shooting down more German aircraft than the legendary Spitfire. The Hurricane also took part in combat operations on the African front, in Burma, and Malta.
