    HURRICANES IN ACTION WORLDWIDE!
    ADRIAN STEWART
    The Hawker Hurricane was the RAF’s most valuable fighter asset in the Second World War, yet even today is relatively under-appreciated by the general public.

    ALLIED AIR OPERATIONS 1939–1940
    JERRY MURLAND
    While much has been written about the Battle of Britain, the air war over France and the Low Countries from September 1939 to June 1940 has been largely neglected – until now.
