The Hawker Hurricane is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that played a crucial role in the defense of Britain during World War II, particularly during the Battle of Britain in 1940. It was designed and built by Hawker Aircraft Ltd., led by Sir Sydney Camm, and it served as one of the mainstay fighters of the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the early years of the war.Here are some key features and details about the Hawker Hurricane:1. **Design and Development**: The Hurricane was designed in the late 1930s as a response to the Air Ministry's specification for a monoplane fighter aircraft. It was a conventional, low-wing monoplane with a fabric-covered fuselage and metal wings.2. **Role in the Battle of Britain**: The Hurricane is best known for its role in the Battle of Britain, where it bore the brunt of the RAF's defense against the German Luftwaffe. It accounted for a significant portion of the Luftwaffe aircraft shot down during this critical battle.3. **Merlin Engine**: The Hurricane was powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, the same engine used in the Supermarine Spitfire. The Merlin engine was a key factor in the Hurricane's success, providing good speed and performance.4. **Armament**: The Hurricane was typically armed with eight .303-inch Browning machine guns mounted in the wings. This armament was effective against enemy aircraft during the early years of the war.5. **Durability**: The Hurricane was known for its ruggedness and ability to absorb battle damage. Its fabric-covered wings could often take hits from enemy fire and still return to base, which made it easier to repair and maintain compared to all-metal aircraft.6. **Variants**: The Hurricane underwent several variants and modifications during its service life, including versions with upgraded armament and engines.7. **Post-War Service**: While the Hurricane was eventually phased out as a front-line fighter by more advanced aircraft like the Spitfire and the Hawker Typhoon, it continued to serve in various roles during and after World War II, such as ground attack, naval operations, and training.8. **Historical Significance**: The Hurricane holds historical significance for being one of the RAF's primary fighters during the early years of the war and for its pivotal role in the Battle of Britain, which was a turning point in the conflict.9. **Legacy**: The Hawker Hurricane remains an iconic and respected aircraft in the history of aviation. Some airworthy Hurricanes are still in existence today and can be seen at airshows and in museum collections.The Hawker Hurricane's contribution to the defense of Britain and its place in aviation history are enduring. It stands as a testament to the ingenuity of its designers and the courage of the pilots who flew it during World War II.Measures 18 inch wingspan, 14.5 inch length.Mahogany.
