Air Warriors: Season 8, Episode 3 - ProjectFreeTV

8 - 3: Hawker Hurricane

The Hawker Hurricane is the plane that saved Britain in her most desperate hour, fighting off the enemy over the shores of Britain, the deserts of Africa, and beyond. Some regard it as the overlooked underdog of British fighter planes. Fast and versatile, the dogfighter doubled as a bomber and ground support aircraft in every theatre of the Second World War. See how this Air Warrior was rushed into service to support the powerful but outnumbered Supermarine Spitfire in fierce battles against the Nazi's mighty Luftwaffe. Then watch as the Hurricane helps the United Kingdom triumph over tyranny, thanks to its maneuverability and adaptability, the skill and grit of its ace pilots, and the power of its Rolls Royce Merlin engines.
