Nederlands: Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIC in the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center , Washington DC. De Hawker Hurricane is een jachtvliegtuig van de RAF.

Le Hawker Hurricane fut le premier chasseur monoplan de la Royal Air Force. Il s'illustra en particulier lors de la bataille d'Angleterre, durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Deutsch: Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIC im Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center , Washington DC. Die Hawker Hurricane war ein britisches Jagdflugzeug aus der Zeit des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Als im Sommer und Herbst 1940 die Luftschlacht um England über Südengland tobte, waren es die Jagdflieger der Royal Air Force (RAF), die verbissen gegen den Ansturm der deutschen Luftwaffe kämpften. Zu zwei Drittel flogen die jungen Piloten die Hawker Hurricane, die vielleicht zu Unrecht im Schatten der Supermarine Spitfire stand. So gingen auch die meisten Abschüsse auf das Konto der robusten und zuverlässigen Hurricane.
