	Encyclopedia: Hawker Hurricane (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Hawker Hurricane is a fighter design from the 1930s which was used extensively by the Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain.
		Following traditional Hawker construction techniques closely, it used a large measure of wood and fabric for the wings and fuselage, with the engine and cockpit area being aluminum-covered steel tubing.
		The Hawker Hurricane, both during and after the war, would serve in the air forces of many countries, some "involuntarily" - as in the case of Hurricanes which landed accidentally in neutral Ireland and were immediately impounded by the authorities, followed by their entry into service with the Irish Air Corps at Baldonnel.

		Hawker believed that in England he would soon learn to fly and the young man of scarcely 22 years of age left his native shores hoping of success in the new sphere and perhaps at the same time wondering if he was doing the right thing.
		Hawker was met by friends soon after the `Maloja' had berthed and was taken to the St Kilda Town Hall, where he was greeted by the Mayor of St Kilda and citizens and councillors from St Kilda, Brighton and Moorabbin.
		Hawker was forced to land only a few miles short of the finish line and for his efforts was awarded a 'special prize' of 1000 pounds by the newspaper.

	Definition of Lanoe Hawker
		He was the third pilot to receive the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
		Hawker had achieved eight victories in aerial combat and can be considered Britain's first ace.
		Hawker was operating before the British had interrupter gear, and so his aircraft (Bristol Scout C, serial number 1611) had its machine gun mounted on the left side of the cockpit, firing forwards and sideways at a 45 degree angle so as to avoid the propeller.

	Hawker
		Hawker had long since established itself as a maker of very good fighter aircraft, dating back to World War I. In 1933, the chief designer of Hawker, Sydney Camm, proposed a design of a new monoplane largely based upon the Hawker Fury biplane, to be powered by the Rolls Royce Goshawk engine.
		Hawker’s Sydney Camm set to work and he and his team designed a fighter that would be tested with each engine.
		Hawker, however, could not envision that the Typhoon would become the scourge of the Wehrmacht.
