History:
The Hurricane Mk IIC, introduced March 1941, was the cannon-armed upgrade of the classic bomber defender. Fitted with four 20 mm Hispano cannons and powered by the Merlin XX engine, some 4,700 were built. Deployed across all WWII fronts,including RAF Poland units,it also inspired later versions like the Mk IID and IV
