Advertisement It was the fighter plane that flew in the more famous Spitfire's shadow during the Second World War, even though it downed more Nazi planes. Armed with cannons and bombs, the Hawker Hurricane was responsible for 55 per cent of the RAF's air victories over Luftwaffe pilots and around 70 per cent of kills during the Battle of Britain. Now, a new documentary shows the moment the daughter of a World War Two Hurricane pilot takes to the skies in her father's plane. Eugenie Brooks, the daughter of Flight Sergeant John Brooks, is shown shedding tears as flies in the plane in UKTV channel Yesterday's Warbird Workshop episode, which airs on Thursday evening.
