80 years ago #OTD, the #BattleofBritain began.

A great moment to finally answer that famous question: which @RoyalAirForce fighter was better: the Hawker Hurricane, or the Supermarine Spitfire?

#Military #History #AvGeek First of all: back in 1940, before the #BattleOfBritain, they already tried to answer this question in a mock battle between two squadrons of Hurricanes and Spitfires. The outcome was... undecided.

And pilots who flew both planes, praised them both. So that's utterly useless.
