EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned aviation artist G.H. Davis in 1940, showcases the iconic British Hawker Hurricane fighter plane during the tumultuous period of the Second World War. The Hurricane, a formidable adversary in the skies, was a crucial component of the Royal Air Force's (RAF) defense against the relentless Luftwaffe air raids. The cross-sectional view of the Hurricane in this image reveals the intricate design and engineering that went into creating this aerial powerhouse. With its powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, eight machine guns, and agile maneuverability, the Hurricane was a force to be reckoned with. The image captures the raw power and determination embodied by this legendary aircraft, which played a pivotal role in turning the tide of the war in favor of the Allies. During the early stages of the conflict, the Hawker Hurricane was instrumental in protecting British shores from enemy attacks, particularly during the Battle of Britain. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience displayed by the pilots who flew these planes and the vital role they played in defending their country during wartime. G.H. Davis, a master of aviation art, expertly captured the essence of the Hurricane in this stunning image, making it an essential addition to any aviation or military history collection.
