Hurricane Flip Book - Imperial War Museum - Bog

Often overshadowed by its more famous counterpart, the Spitfire, the Hawker Hurricane proved to be the unsung hero of the Second World War. Over half of every enemy aeroplane destroyed in the Battle of Britain was by a Hurricane, not a Spitfire. While the Hurricane is known for being the reliable workhorse of the Battle of Britain, it also went on to serve in nearly every major theatre of the war, even as a bomber. Using rare archival footage from IWM's unique collection, this flip book recreates the impressive manoeuvres of the legendary Hurricane in flight. Watch Hurricane Mk I fighters of No. 73 Squadron take off on a sortie, showcasing the daring skills of their pilots.
