The Hawker Hurricane was the RAF's most valuable fighter asset in
the Second World War, yet even today is relatively
under-appreciated by the general public. Yet from the early months
of the war it was the single engine fighter most often encountered
by the Luftwaffe and during the Battle of Britain it made 80% of
the successful interdictions of enemy formations. As this superbly
researched book written by a leading authority on the air war
reveals, this was only the start of the Hurricane's war service.
Its reliability and versatility ensured that variants saw action in
more war theatres worldwide than any other fighter. Indeed, as the
RAF's Official History recalls Everywhere the Ubiquitous Hurricane
was to be seen'. This book follows the Hurri' to Russia, Malta,
North Africa and as far afield as Burma, Sumatra and Java. Seaborne
versions fought in the Battle of the Atlantic and defended the
Mediterranean convoys. In the ground attack role Hurricane fighter
bombers made countless sweeps over occupied Europe. Pilots'
first-hand accounts supplement the text. Readers are left in no
doubt as to the massive contribution that the Hurricane made to
ultimate victory.
