165 pages, 8 plates, cloth, very good. The story of the famous British WWII fighter aircraft by the famous American author. From the publisher: Paul Gallico, with the same magic touch and warmth of feeling of his great best sellers, has now turned to the chronicle of the Hurricane - the tenacious little single-seater plane that stood forth against the Luftwaffe. If ever a machine could, it personified the indomitable spirit of those who withstood, and won, the Battle of Britain. Paul Gallico, as always when he writes, tells far more than the obvious story - more than the story of a flying machine from its conception to obsolescence. This is, no less, the recitation of acts of courage and heroism of the men who flew the Hurricane and the British people, who had so little except this plane and their own valiant hearts between them and destruction - or victory.
