The Hawker Hurricane may not have been the prettiest or the fastest,
but when Britain stood alone in 1940, it was this rugged, dependable fighter that carried the Royal Air Force through its darkest hour.

In this episode of Skies of War, we uncover the incredible story of the Hurricane —
from Sydney Camm’s early designs to the roaring Merlin engine,
from the skies over France to the desperate days of the Battle of Britain.

While the Spitfire won the headlines, it was the Hurricane that won the war in the air —
destroying more enemy aircraft than all other RAF fighters combined during the Battle of Britain.

Join us as we explore its design, performance, evolution, and legacy —
and pay tribute to the aircraft that became the heart of Fighter Command.
