Hawker Hurricane Mk. IIc

The Hawker Hurricane is a British fighter aircraft design from the 1930s.
By the end of 1944, around 14,000 Hurricane and Sea Hurricane fighters and fighter-bombers had been built.
In August 1940, the Hurricane's crowning achievement in history took place: the Battle of Britain. RAF Hurricanes were responsible for shooting down more enemy aircraft than all other defenses combined, including all aircraft and ground defenses.
Later in the war, the Hurricane performed distinguished service in North Africa, Burma, Malta, and almost every other theater in which the RAF represented the war. The Hurricane was frequently modified throughout its service life, resulting in many important variants, including the Mk IA, which received eight 7.7 mm (0.303 in) machine guns, the Mk IIC with a Merlin-XX engine, and the Mk IID, with two 40 mm cannons and two 7.7 mm machine guns.
During the war, Hurricanes were sold to Egypt, Finland, India, Ireland, Persia, Turkey, and the USSR Air Corps.
