as posted by the channelThe Supermarine Spitfire and the Hawker Hurricane were the backbone of the RAF fighter command in 1940. The Spitfire, sleek and agile, was built for dogfights, while the tougher Hurricane took on the bombers and bore the brunt of the fighting during the Battle of Britain.
In this special episode, James Holland and Al Murray put these legendary fighters head-to-head — comparing design, performance, and combat roles to reveal why both were vital to victory in the Battle of Britain.
Released to mark the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, this is the story of two RAF aircraft that became icons of British courage and ingenuity.
