I'm an American but as a kid I lived in Britain, my father was USAF and was stationed at an RAF base. It was less than 20 years after the war and I got to meet many of the "few" that saved western civilization. I loved to hear the stories told in the typical Brit understated way and fell in love with the Hurricane sfter hearing the pilots lavish such praise on her. Great aircraft and great men that flew them, thanks to one and all the few that so many owe so much to.
You were fortunate indeed. I was lucky to meet a bomber pilot from WW2. Of course I was eager to hear anything he would tell me but I learn't not ask questions after the first I did. Even though he was in his 80's he was still traumatized by what he went thru. I saw tears well up and he was obviously of crews that didn't make it. One of the things that is not well known is that combat veterans lived on average 10 years less than civilian men or men in the armed forces that weren't in combat roles.
Lest we forget those too who returned but sacrificed ten years of their life for us.
most underappreciated aircraft in history I believe. Overshadowed by the legendary Spitfire, it deserves more recognition because this is the airplane that was the most numerous during the battle of Britain and did most of the damage to the Luftwaffe
Greg Lyris .... Overshadowed.. Possibly..
Under-appreciated.. Never.. 😉😉
A greatly underappreciated aircraft. I find it a rather beautiful plane.
dugclrk .... Under-appreciated 🤔🤔
Never.. 😁😁
Well done...wish there was more.
Fantastic
Love your short informative videos, great to see and hear a Canadian slant on WWII, please keep these videos coming.
Didn't only save the empire, saved the free World with the Spitfire and helped 'check' the Germans threat of victory...
I love this plane...
that is a lot of bullets to throw at something
Last comment was meant to say , for a plane to fight in give me the Hurricane !
Eh Liz, for future reference. If you hover your mouse across your comment, three dots on the right will appear. When you click on them you will get the option to edit the comment. This isn't Twitter. ^_^
Great video. Thanks for showing the construction side - much appreciated. I am curious. The rivets on the wings weren't flush rivets. Could the Hurricane been a little faster with flush rivets? Also if it had a metal skin would that have made it faster? Would just like your thoughts.
The wings were flush riveted. Don't think a metal skinned fuselage wouldn't have made it any faster. The speed limitation was mostly in the airframe design, specifically a very thick wing and lots of surface area on the fuselage.
@@calgarymosquitosociety2061 Thanks CMS for satisfying my curiosity. Appreciate. Your doing good work
Fabric seems to be outdated for WWII but it proved to be durable. As Churchill remarked the reason for "growing confidence in the air" together with the skill of in many cases were relatively inexperienced British pilots at the start of the Battle of Britain. Several Hurricanes had been lost in France prior to the Battle of Britain.
Aluminium was in short supply at the start of the war but wood and fabric weren't.
This is one of the reasons the De Havilland Mosquito was made of wood
Fabric? It was a good fighter.
Yes indeed it was. The first models even had fabric covered wings.
The place of manufacture of the aircraft is not relevant with respect to the configuration of the armament in this case. It is the variant of Hurricane represented that matters. The extra two .303 Brownings in each wing were standard equipment on British-built Hurricane Mark IIBs as well as Canadian-built Mark XIIs. This distinguishes these two marks from the Mark I Hurries and other variants which had the standard 8 gun armament. That is all.
It is also important to highlight the fact that the Hurricane was the most advanced British fighter aircraft deployed to the far flung and more rugged fighting zones of the early war in Malta and North Africa (1940-1943), East Africa (1940-1941), the Middle East (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine) (1941-1942), India and Burma (1942-1945) and Singapore, Sumatra and Java (1942), areas where it literally took years for the first Spitfires to show up. As such the Hurricane truly deserves, more than any other aircraft of WW2, the designation of "defender of the British Empire".
yeah hurricane was the workhorse dont know all variants didnt some have hiso 20 mm canon for contour or ground attack,why i liked quebecquios comentator is nostalgia i have kin there.
They didn't defend one member, Australia.
12 guns in the Hurricane i never knew
liked quebecquois accented demo guy talking about differences between Canadian vs british armement and other structural features.i know lend lease provided curtis tomahawk but not with pratt twin wasp as sold to france and it was down more than up for mechanical failure.
Only one made it's way to Australia, V7476.
I guess they were too good to giveaway
martin wilk this was the only one build right hand drive cockpit.
@@52templar . All vehicles built in the UK are right hand drive
Tom Neil once said , for a plane to fly give me the spitfire but for a plane to fight in give me the Spitfire !
