Re: Good book or info about Hurricane Mk I?

When considering the Finnish and some of the Russian negative comments, bear in mind that they did not have 100 octane fuel so were always down on power compared to other Allied use.

David: Gallico's book is very old, and certainly had access to none of the accurate data that we've become accustomed to. I don't think that he rated very highly as a historian either. However, have you never read Barret Tiltman (spelling?) books on USN types? I don't think I've ever read anything quite so biased as his Hellcat.
