Based at a temporary formed airfield at Lille Marc, Hurricanes of No. 87 Squadron – showing the strains of battle – taxi in from a skirmish during heavy fighting in the Battle of France, May 1940.

Flying from ill-prepared grass strips, with groundcrews making the best of what meagre facilities were on hand, the Hurricane pilots literally flew themselves to a standstill. An old farmhouse has been commandeered and now doubles up as flight operations, officers’ mess, and accommodation for the lucky ones.

Front Line Hurricanes is issued with TWO comanion prints - Bristol Blenheim (dimensions 18" x 14") and Gloster Gladiator (18" x 14").
