The “Star hour "of the Hawker Hurricane fighter was the legendary battle for Britain, during which the Hurricane shot down twice as many Luftwaffe aircraft than the latest Spitfire. However, in the domestic literature behind the “hurricane "(as its name is translated), the label of the“ second -rate ”was firmly fixed. The famous phrase of Stalin "A" Hurricane is their - rubbish! " I put an indelible stigma on it. At the same time, the British themselves built the Hurricane almost the entire war (more than 14.5 thousand cars) and fought on them around the world, and our experts recognized the superiority of the “Englishman” over the I-16. The Hurricane was completely radiated, extremely tenacious and much easier to “donkey” in management, which was important for young pilots who were released in the accelerated program of flight schools. In total, the USSR received about 3 thousand “haritons", or“ hunchbacked ”, as they were called at the front, which remained in the ranks until the end of the Great Patriotic War and helped to withstand at the most difficult time when the losses of the Air Force of the Red Army were huge.
