"The Hawker Hurricane: A Legendary Fighter of the Skies" As the Supermarine Spitfire took center stage in commemorating 100 years of the RAF, it is important not to forget its steadfast companion, the Hawker Hurricane. This remarkable aircraft has left an indelible mark on history, from its early days as a prototype being test flown by Flight Lieutenant PWS Bulman in 1935, to its heroic role during World War II. In black and white photographs capturing a moment frozen in time, we see brave RAF Hurricane fighter pilots who were among "the Few" that valiantly fought in the Battle of Britain. Their unwavering determination and skill helped defend our skies against overwhelming odds. A poignant image reveals a formation of British Hurricanes heading towards occupied France for a daring Channel sweep - a raid on German airfields. These courageous men risked everything to strike at the heart of enemy forces during this pivotal moment in history. The year 1941 witnessed both unknown creators immortalizing this iconic aircraft through stunning visuals. From Hairpins to Hurricanes showcases Cellon Limited's contribution to manufacturing these magnificent machines with unparalleled precision. Another photograph captures Morane 406 at Vassincourt Aerodrome alongside French Curtiss Hawk and Hurricane planes - an international alliance united against tyranny. The Hurricanes Over France series transports us back to those tumultuous times when these fighters roared across European skies defending freedom. Even amidst war-torn landscapes, there were moments of respite as seen in an enchanting scene featuring a Hurricane Mark II soaring above Blackpool alongside a Spitfire. These aerial ballets provided fleeting glimpses of beauty amid chaos. Yet not all was serene; Flight magazine's artist Cecil Beaton depicted the raw power and intensity exuded by these mighty machines as they tore through clouds with unyielding force. The Hawker Hurricane stands tall as an emblematic symbol of courage and resilience throughout history.
