HURRICANE in the Battle of Britain At the end of June 1940, following the fall of France, the majority of the RAF's 36 fighter squadrons were equipped with Hurricanes. The Battle of Britain officially lasted from 1 July 1940, until 31 October, but the heaviest fighting took place between 8 August and 21 September 1940. Both Spitfires and Hurricanes are renowned for their part in defending Britain against the Luftwaffe's might – generally the Spitfire would intercept the German fighters leaving Hurricanes to concentrate on destroying the bombers – but despite the undoubted abilities of the "thoroughbred" Spitfire, it was the "work-horse" Hurricane that scored the highest number of RAF victories during this period, accounting for 1,593 out of the 2,739 total claimed. |
