I am looking for information on any book/s that give production info on the Hurricane Serial numbers, units served, fates etc. Is there one single book that meets the criteria? (Something in the style of ‘Spitfire International’ )
Thanks in advance

It’s a great book, I agree PL, but the serial list is not complete, and does contain errors. Also it was published a good few years ago – I think before almost any Hurricanes had come out of Russia, for instance, so it’s out of date if things like surviving airframes are your bag. That said, it’s the best starting point I know of. (Not having seen the Air Britain book mentioned.)
I agree with Paul on the need for a definitive work. Rather than another Spitboiler cashcow. 😉

Perhaps it’s not complete, but there is still an awful lot of information in there . . . in my opinion it’s worth having.

Warning Hawker Hurricane is NOT complete (not all aircraft listed)!.. I would invest in the Air Britain Serial books but they still do not give u the full picture..
This will have to wait until someone does the Hurricane justice some day.. (As well as the Wellington and the Sunderland please)

Just about everything you mentioned is in “The Hawker Hurricane” by Francis K Mason ISBN 0 946627 58 4.
