The Hawker Hurricane was the Raf's first monoplane fighter, and it
dragged the air force into a position where it could defend Britain
in its 'hour of need'. Prior to the Battle of Britain, a number of
squadrons equipped with the fighter had seen action firstly in the
'Phoney War', and then during the disastrous campaign in France.
Pilots like 'Cobber' Kain had achieved impressive scores in the
face of overwhelming LUftwaffe forces, and although the RAF lost no
less than 386 Hurricanes during the Blitzkried, it gave many pilots
valuable experience. Hawker fighters outnumbered Spitfires during
the Battle of Britain by three to one, and downed far mor aircraft.
Overseas, a handful of pilots put up stiff resistance against
Germany's Italian ally in Libya and Egypt, and also over Malta.
