May I have your opinions on which is the ‘best’ reference book on the Hawker Hurricane please? All contributions welcomed. Thanks, Andrew

Thanks to all, much appreciated. I should also have asked, do any of them contain any sort of log of the history of each aircraft, i.e. based on their Movements Cards?

Mason’s books are good, but he did stubbornly cling to a couple of myths around the changes to the ml II airframe

Horses for courses. I am biased and have over 35 different books on the hurri. Francis Masons is good, the Haynes is good, the Hurricane manual is good. Right to Paul Gallicos book.

I’ve got the RAFM Edition one by Francis K. Mason, signed by Tom Gleeve.

I see they now seem to be worth a few quid 😮

Have had to part with many of my old books due to moving around, but I’ll never give up my Ian Allan “At War” collection!
Chaz Bowyer wrote the Hurricane’s entry in the series, “Hurricane At War.”

I only have one : Hawker Hurricane, by Robert Jackson. ISBN 0-7137-1683-5
At the back it lists all of the Hurricanes built, along with batch details.
