Hurricane was the true hero of the Battle of Britain,
but by 1941 it was clear that it was becoming totally unsuitable to its
role as a fighter aircraft. Hawker was not ready to give up on the plane
yet, and in order to improve performance, new Merlin XX engine was
introduced to the plane and Hurricane Mk II was born. Mk IIa was armed
with 8 7.7mm machine guns, Mk IIb introduced new wings with 12 7.7mm
machine guns, but the true potential of the revived Hurricane was
realized with the introduction of Mk IIc armed with four 20mm Hispano
cannons and conversion to ground attack role.
