Award winning author Paul Gallico (Poseidon Adventure, The Snow Goose) has turned his magic touch to the chronicle of the Hurricane -- the tenacious little single-seater plane that battled the Luftwaffe and won the Battle of Britain. More than just a story of a flying machine from its conception to obsolescence, this is also the recitation of acts of courage and heroism of the men who flew the Hurricane and the British people. So little existed, except this plane and their own valiant hearts, between the Brits and destruction -- or victory. Includes many documentary photos of the Battle of Britain on the ground and in the skies overhead.
