Hawker Hurricane
Jacobs, Peter
Crowood Aviation Series
First Edition
The Hawker Hurricane was one of the most important aeroplanes of World War Two. Although sometimes overshadowed by its contemporary, the Supermarine Spitfire, it was a first-class fighter which went on to become a liighly effective ground-attack aeroplane, carrying larger weapons than its designers had anticipated.
Peter Jacobs tells the full story of this remarkable aeroplane, from its beginnings in the days before World War Two, through its Service in the Battle of Britain, over Europe and in the skies of Russia, the desert and the Far East, and its use as a naval fighter.
With many rare photographs this is a fine addition to the Crowood Aviation Series.
