Product description

The Hawker Hurricane saw more widespread service than probably any other RAF type during WW2, making it very difficult to arrange into books like these. Author Neil Robinson took on the immense task of sifting through our photo archive of several hundred Hurricane photos to work out how to split them, and after many months he came up with a plan!

This second volume effectively covers UK based Mk Is and Mk IIs from the end of the Battle of Britain to December 1942. This is the period when the Hurricane slowly lost pace with the Spitfire as a day fighter and found itself redeployed into other front-line tasks such as night-fighting and intruder operations.
With the armament improved and with the wings capable of carrying bombs or drop tanks, the Mk II became a versatile platform for keeping the fight going until more specific types entered the war such as the Beaufighter for night-fighting, the Typhoon for ground-attack and the Mosquito for intruder operations.

As usual, Wingleader has dug out around 120 very high-quality original photos which show the details and modifications that took place between the various Mks and have commissioned 6 in-depth colour profiles to illustrate them.
