WAR'S MOST VERSATILE PLANE
Hawker Hurricanes have now got auxiliary fuel tanks under the wings to let them fly further into Europe. The Hurricane is the most versatile aircraft of the war. In the Battle of Britain it' was a fighter with eight machine guns. Then it was given twelve machine guns or, alternatively, four 20 millimetre cannon. It became a bomber with machine guns anil two 2501b bombs. It has taken off from ship decks. It has been catapulted. And it has been adapted for work under a blazing sun and for lighting over Russia's snows.
