Although manufactured in larger numbers and instrumental in defending the British isle against German air raids during the Battle of Britain these planes never received the recognition given to their elder brothers the Supermarine Spitfire, which planes are we talking about?

The Hawker Hurricane was the workhorse of RAF's Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain, responsible for shooting down more German aircraft (about 60% of total) than the more famous Spitfire. While Hurricanes were produced in larger numbers and were crucial in the defense, the Spitfire received greater recognition for its superior performance and iconic status.
