The Hawker Hurricane

The Hawker Hurricane is a popular subject for aviation artists. Although overshadowed in the public consciousness by its contemporary, the Supermarine Spitfire, the Hurricane inflicted 60% of the casualties in the Battle of Britain. It was produced in great numbers during WWII and appeared in every theatre of that conflict.
