The Hawker Hurricane & The Polish Squadron That Defended Britain
Often overshadowed by the Spitfire, the Hawker Hurricane was the true workhorse of the Royal Air Force during World War II-especially in the Battle of Britain. In this video, we explore its design, combat history, and why it was the backbone of the RAF's fighter force.
We also take a closer look at Hawker Hurricane G-HURI, painted in the markings of 302 ‘City of Poznań’ Squadron, which was stationed at RAF Duxford in September 1940. Discover the incredible bravery and skill of the Polish pilots who helped turn the tide of battle-often the unsung heroes of the war, much like the Hurricane itself.

    A beuatiful design. Capable of taking serious damage and easier to repair than its more famous sister the Spitfire. Great effort recignising our allies.

    By the small sizes of those recovered plane parts I think it's fair to say the team can rest easy in the likelihood that Lt. John W. Fisher has been entirely returned to mother earth. Well done, great story, very moving.

    Great mini doc about Just Jane. I was just wondering what the latest news was with respect to getting her airworthy and this video delivered. The background info and interviews were a great bonus. I need to get out next summer and see this magnificent bird taxi!

    At a Pop A Smoke reunion in San Diego I found the helicopter I crewed in Viet Nam with HMM 165. The bird still belonged to HMM 165. It was like a reunion with a family member! I recognized the Falstaff beer can bukllet hole patches immediately!
