First flown in November 1935, the Hurricane was built in large numbers and was effective enough to become the main reason why the RAF won the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940. Though primitive in many ways by the time the war began, the 'hurri' was easy to fly, stable as a gun platform, carried eight. 303 guns and rugged enough to withstand extensive battle damage. Most of RAF Fighter Command's kills during the Battle were made by Hurricanes and it could out turn any other modern fighter in the sky.

A total of 14,000 Hurricanes of all varieties were manufactured before production ceased in August of 1944. The Mk.IIC Hurricane was the most widely produced version and was armed with four 20mm cannons carried within its wings.
