Hurricane Mk.IV Medium Rockets is a Polish Air unit.

Background[ | ]

Main article: Hawker Hurricane

A single-seat fighter aircraft introduced into the British arsenal in late 1937, the Hawker Hurricane was the workhorse of Allied aviation in the early years of the war. It was a monoplane design using last-generation technology, such as the use of mechanically fastened steel tubes for its frame, with a mixed wood/fabric body and wings (replaced with metal wings in 1939), or older propeller designs. Though less advanced than the all-metal Spitfire, this arrangement made the Hurricane cheaper and easier to manufactue, with damage sustained in air sorties a lot easier to repair. This ruggedness also made it a stable gun platform, and contributed to the distinguished service of the Hurricane on all fronts of the war, especially the Battle of Britain, where it constituted as much as three fifths of the fighter force and could go toe to toe with the powerful Bf 109 fighters.

The Mark IV was the last major evolution of the Hurricane, fitted with a universal wing. This design allowed the Hurricane to mount a variety of ordnance using multi-purpose hardpoints, including two 250 or 500 lb (110 or 230 kg) bombs, twin 40mm Vickers S guns, drop tanks, or eight RP-3 rockets. It also included new Merlin 24 or 27 engines together with additional armor, in support of its new role as a close support fighter.
