Fighter Command squadrons. Operating alongside the Supermarine Spitfire, this aircraft intercepted German bombers while Spitfires engaged Messerschmitt BF-109s. The Hurricane was the first combat aircraft to surpass 300 M.P.H. and evolved into the war's most adaptable single-seat fighter. Beyond European theaters, it served in the Western Desert as a fighter-bomber. The Sea Hurricane variant became the Fleet Air Arm's inaugural single-seat carrier fighter. Wing Span: 16".
