Hawker Hurricane Mk.I RAF Battle England WWII Diecast 1:72 Altaya AC72
The Hawker Hurricane was the RAF's first low-wing monoplane fighter, designed by Sydney Camm and first flown in 1935 as a direct evolution of the Hawker biplanes of the previous decade. Although the public focus has always fallen on the Spitfire, it was the Hurricane that bore the brunt of the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940, shooting down more enemy aircraft than any other Allied fighter in that campaign, thanks to both its greater number available and a fabric-covered steel tube structure that, despite being less aerodynamic than that of the Spitfire, was much quicker to repair on the runway after suffering combat damage. Powered by the same Rolls-Royce Merlin engine as its wingmate, the original Mk.I concentrated eight 7.7 mm Browning machine guns in the wings. After the Battle of Britain, the Hurricane continued to serve on all fronts of the conflict - North Africa, Malta, the Far East - adapting to fighter-bomber and tank destroyer roles that its successor barely covered, and demonstrating a versatility that explains its prolonged production throughout the war.
