COLOR INSTRUCTION SHEET
The Hawker Hurricane has been the most widely
used fighter by the British Royal Air Force at the beginning of World War II.
The Hurricane was powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin 12-cylinders, liquid-cooled,
with more than 1,000 HP that could lead to a speed above 500 km/h. The eight
7.7 mm Browning machine guns, which equipped it, guaranteed a good
firepower. Although it was slower and more antiquated, for aerodynamic
design, then the famous "colleague" with whom it shared the
operational engagement during the Battle of Britain, it was however more
robust, cheaper and easier to maintain. The Hurricane
contributed significantly to the victory of the RAF during the Battle of
Britain, but during the war the role of front-line fighter was given to the
more modern Spitfire.
