The Hurricane played a big role in the Battle of Britain, and got little

the A-10 of WWII. Came after the BoB in about 1944 TOS.


No that was the Typhoon.

The Tempest was its sibling but was mainly used to shoot
down the V1's as it was about the fastest of the piston engined
fighter aircraft and was replaced in RAF service by Vampire
and Maeteor jets.
