More oddly Hurris got more kills in the whole of WW2 than Spits ( as I
have posted about previously) This was probably due to the widespread
use of Hurris abroad at critical times (Malta, North Africa etc) when
Spits were retained for home defence, arriving in theatre much later.


Yep, I'd agree that the higher Hurricane claims came from their more
extensive involvement in sustained high-intensity fighting against
major components of Axis air power. By the time the Spitfire became
predominant over the Hurricane, other fighter types and other forces
were diffusing the load.
