This book is a great compilation about this ledgendary war machine. It gives a good background to the making of arguably the best fighter aircraft of the day. Hurricane also goes in depth about the special features involved in this plane, as well as some of the highs and lows of fighting in these sleek machines, often with thrilling battles against ME109's, the Hawker Hurricane's nemisis.

If you're looking for a book about the Hawker Hurricane and you like colour photographs this is definitly the book you'r looking for. All colour illustrations are new, most of them of the few surviving Hurricanes, of which this book gives an excellent overview. The black and white ones are all of the best quality and together they give you a thorough look both around and in the airplane itself. I'm dumbfolded about it being out of print.
