That opening scene, from the Rolls-Royce cutting out in roll to the destruction of Hurri's on the ground(one of my favorite fighters), really got to me when I was a kid.

I love the early war campaigns. My favorite WWII fighters are the glorious underdogs: The Hawker Hurricane, and P-40. They held the line until better machines came on line, and they both had good service records.

Those aren't the underdogs. The real underdogs are the Gloster Gladiator Mk II and the Fiat CR.42. (Desert Wings: Tobruk)

The Hurricane was no underdog in the Battle of Britain. Official records of the battle reveal that 60% of ALL Luftwaffe losses in the summer of 1940 were attributed to the Hurricane and while it was inferior to the Bf-109 in terms of speed and in the dive, the Hurricane had a significant advantage in the turn, and shot down almost as many Bf-109s as the Spitfire during the battle, especially in the last two or three weeks of the battle, when the Germans turned away from bombing the fighter stations of the RAF to concentrating their attacks on cities like London.

I always run pattern convergence, with the guns paired from 200 to 500 yards. I also load the two innermost guns with 1 observer (exploding) round per 5 other rounds as they kill aircrew instantly dead.

In the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire may have been the glamorous thoroughbred of the battle, but the real workhorse was the Hurricane. The composition of the squadrons of RAF Fighter Command during the battle was two thirds equipped with Hurricanes to one third equipped with Spitfires. The Hurricane could take significantly more combat damage than the Spitfire and could be patched up quickly and returned to operational condition often on the same day, whereas a damaged Spitfire had to be taken out of the line and returned to a machine shop for repair. By the end of the Battle, 60% of all losses suffered by the Luftwaffe were attributed to the Hurricane. You have to assume that most of those losses were bombers and since the Hurricane pilots were detailed to attack the bomber formations, the lion's share of the bombers shot down were claimed by them. However, there is a surprising statistic in that final analysis revealed that the Hurricanes also shot down almost as many Bf-109s as the Spitfire during the Battle. This could be a result of Goering ordering his fighter pilots to hold closer station with the bomber formations because of the inability of the Bf-110 to beat off RAF attacks on the bomber formations. The likes of Galland and Molders were bitterly critical of this change, because it meant that the 109s lost their advantage of height and speed in the dive and the Hurricane had a significant advantage over the Bf-109 in the turn. The short range of the Bf-109 was another weakness which was exploited when the Germans switched the focus of their attack away from attacking the RAF fighter stations to bombing the cities. The Bf-109 only had sufficient fuel for 10 or 15 minutes over London, so they were often picked off on their way back to base when they were low on fuel and ammunition, by RAF fighters who were fighting over "friendly territory" and able to break off combat, refuel and re-arm and return to the fight.
