Spitfire / Hurricane (2000)

Two programmes which feature fighter aircraft of the Second World War. 'The Supreme Spitfire' looks at how the classic combination of airframe, Rolls Royce Merlin engine and dual cannon/machine gun armament struck terror into the hearts of the enemy's most fearless flyers. 'The Hawker Hurricane' shows how the Hurricane was outnumbered but never outclassed, designed to hit the enemy hard, absorb tremendous punishment yet live to fight another day.
