In the summer of 1940 the fate of Europe hung in the balance.
Victory in the forthcoming air battle would mean national survival;
defeat would establish German tyranny. The Luftwaffe greatly
outnumbered the RAF, but during the Battle of Britain it was the
RAF that emerged triumphant, thanks to two key fighter planes, the
Spitfire and the Hurricane. The Hurricane made up over half of
Fighter Command's front-line strength, and its revolutionary design
transformed the RAF's capabilities. Leo McKinstry tells the story
of the remarkable plane from its designers to the first-hand
testimonies of those brave pilots who flew it; he takes in the full
military and political background but always keeps the human
stories to the fore - to restore the Hawker Hurricane to its
rightful place in history.
