HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Hawker Hurricane, a classic British fighter aircraft, holds an esteemed place in aviation history. Introduced into the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the late 1930s, this robust and agile aircraft played a crucial role during World War II. Its combat debut came during the Battle of France in 1940, where it displayed its prowess as a formidable fighter. Armed with eight .303 machine guns, the Hurricane was well-equipped to engage enemy aircraft, and its sturdy construction allowed it to withstand significant damage.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the Hurricane was its role during the Battle of Britain, a pivotal conflict in 1940. Alongside the Supermarine Spitfire, the Hurricane defended the skies of the United Kingdom against relentless German air raids. Its excellent maneuverability and the fact that it was already in service in larger numbers than the Spitfire at the war's outbreak made it an invaluable asset. Hurricanes shot down more enemy aircraft during the Battle of Britain than any other British aircraft.
Technical details of the Hurricane include its maximum speed of around 340 mph (547 km/h), a range of approximately 600 miles (965 km), and a wingspan of 40 feet, 0 inches (12.2 meters). This historic aircraft perfectly captures its distinctive design and combat-ready appearance. It's not just a collectible; it's a homage to the heroism and innovation of the RAF during one of the most critical chapters in aviation history. Display this model proudly and remember the Hurricane's gallant service in the defense of freedom.
