About this ebook
Today a number of Hurricanes are being privately restored globally. However the oldest in existence, a veteran of both the British Expeditionary Force to France in 1939 and the Battle of Britain is displayed in the Science Museum, London and the youngest – the very last Hurricane ever built – is still flying with the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
This book documents each aircraft by country of origin and mark by mark from the day it left the factory up to the present day. Some have incredible histories whereas others served in very mundane, but still essential, second-line roles until they were disposed of. Where possible each aircraft is illustrated with a present-day photograph together with others taken throughout its life.
From the serious enthusiast to the casual museum or air show visitor, if you have an interest in the Hurricane this is the book for you.
Gordon Riley
Gordon Riley was introduced to the world of vintage aviation thanks to growing up with a father who had been a Lancaster pilot during World War II. He published Britain's first magazine dedicated to vintage aircraft – the aptly titled Vintage Aircraft magazine which he edited from 1976 to 1986 as well as compiling the Vintage Aircraft Directory and Aircraft Museums Directory. Following his monumental two-volume work Spitfire Survivors – Then and Now, co-written with Peter R. Arnold and the late Graham Trant, Gordon carried out extensive research which culminated in the publication of Hawker Hurricane Survivors in 2015.
