In 1940, everyone celebrated the Spitfire. But there was another British fighter that shot down more German aircraft during the Battle of Britain — and almost nobody remembers it.
The Hurricane was designed by Sydney Camm, a self-taught engineer who enever went to university. While the Air Ministry obsessed over the elegant Spitfire, Camm quietly built a rugged, reliable fighter that could be repaired in hours and produced in massive numbers.
This is the story of the forgotten fighter that did the real work. Hurricanes made up 60% of RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain and destroyed more Luftwaffe aircraft than all other defenses combined. But history gave all the glory to the Spitfire.
Sydney Camm never complained. He just kept designing aircraft for another 25 years, creating jets that broke speed records and shaped Cold War aviation. Yet today, most people don't even know his name.
Discover how one overlooked engineer and his "ugly" fighter saved Britain — and got written out of history.
