The Hawker Hurricane is a British single-seat fighter aircraft. It was used during the second world war, and although inferior to such planes as the ME-109, it could with its eight guns easily deal with the slower HE-111 bombers, the JU-87 dive bombers, and the so-called ME-110 "fighters. In the Battle of Britain, the ideal strategy was for the Hurricanes to go after these heavier planes, while the more nimble spitfires mixed with the ME-109's. The Hurricane was Britain's first fighter capable of speeds in excess of 300 mph.
