Bull Dogs on the Coast - Vintage Wings of Canada | For most young testosterone-fueled, newly-winged pilots of the Second World War, being a fighter pilot was the plum assignment, the glory job, the best of the best - a fighting man with the fastest and the most exciting aircraft of the day. Being chosen to become a Hawker Hurricane pilot of the Royal Canadian Air Force would surely induce the highest excitement levels and the studliest demeanour in a young flyboy. It was a golden opportunity for which there was no downside... unless, of course, you were selected to be a fighter pilot in a Canadian home defence squadron, stationed thousands of miles from the nearest real action.

He specialised in designing fighter aircraft, and produced some of the most elegant and amazingly beautiful aircraft, ever. Think of the original Hawker Fury of the 1930s, and you will get a flavour of his greatness. The immediate successor to the Fury was less elegant, less dainty, but extremely strong, had (initially) four times the firepower, was 100 mph faster and, above all, was the right aircraft in the right place at the right time, to keep Britain in the Second World War. Initially called the ‘Fury Monoplane’ by Hawkers, it became the world-famous Hurricane...
