I have always enjoyed the " In action." series, and the Hurricane in action is not an exception. However, the real strength of this book is the photo's. There are a great many photo's of an unusual nature and showing the Hurricane in many different marks and situations.
Where the book is weakest is in the information. It is not bad, but it feels like the pictures are carrying the book. The info is very 2 dimensional. Especially when compared to other books in the series where the info and pictures compliment each other.
If you want to pick up a In action book this one might not be the best. If you are after info on the Hurricane specificly then you will find elements of this book useful.

For those who want a great overview of this plane this book is well worth the price. This is not an in depth work, it provides basic information on all the versions of this classic plane including the Sea Hurricane. There is sufficient information to help modelers with their project, but not to the same degree as a "walk around" type of publication. Regardless, well worth the money if you are not an extremely serious aviation historian or an hard core plastic modeler.
