Hawker Hurricane Mk1 Fighter

The Hawker Hurricane Mk1

The Hurricane did not get the recognition it rightly deserved. Slightly slower and less range than the Spitfire, it was a steadier gun platform and could take more punishment. It destroyed more enemy aircraft during the Battle of Britain than all other aircraft combined.

Engine: 1030 hp Rolls Royce Merlin III
Armament: 0.303 in Browning machine guns (4 per wing)
