September 1939 and the mkI Hurricane is the mainstay of British fighter command, it's fixed pitch wooden two blade prop will soon be replaced but for now is the way the power that the Rolls Royce Merlins power is delivered, 8 machine guns make her formidably armed if you can get up close but you are short on armour and early forays into mainland Europe have exposed the less experienced RAF crews to withering losses from the battle hardened Luftwaffe.
