The riveting exploits of a fighter aircraft – and an underrated aerial hero of the Second World War.

The Hawker Hurricane was flying on the outbreak of war in 1939. Six years later, and it had saved Britain.

Unjustly left in the shade of the Spitfire, the Hurricane’s role was varied and pivotal: as a fighter, fighter-bomber and anti-tank aircraft. Nor was its theatre of operations any less wide: it saw action in France from the beginning of the Phoney War to the outbreak of the Blitzkrieg, in the Battle of Britain, and then around the world.

In this spirited and classic account, Adrian Stewart describes all the Hurricane’s adventures and achievements, and recounts the exploits of the aircraft’s outstanding pilots who contributed so much towards mastery of the skies, and victory.

Perfect for readers of John Nichol’s Spitfire and Lancaster

The riveting exploits of a fighter aircraft – and an underrated aerial hero of the Second World War

The Hawker Hurricane was flying on the outbreak of war in 1939. Six years later, having saved Britain, it was still playing a major part in the war effort.

Widely remembered in its fighter role and unjustly left in the shade of the Spitfire, the Hurricane’s role was varied and pivotal: as a fighter, fighter-bomber, anti-tank aircraft and used at sea. Nor was its theatre of operations any less wide: it saw action in France from the beginning of the Phoney War to the outbreak of the Blitzkrieg, in the Battle of Britain, and then as far afield as Russia, Sumatra and Madagascar.

In this intensely readable, spirited and classic account, Adrian Stewart describes all the Hurricane’s roles, adventures and achievements. He recounts the exploits of the aircraft’s outstanding pilots who contributed so much towards mastery of the skies and eventual victory.

Perfect for readers of John Nichol’s Spitfire and Lancaster.
