1 aircraft·Hawker Aircraft·1935-1947
Sydney Camm designed the Hawker Hurricane, the fighter that destroyed more enemy aircraft during the Battle of Britain than all other defences combined. While the Spitfire captured the public imagination, it was Camm's Hurricane that bore the brunt of the fighting. He went on to design the Sea Fury, the fastest piston-engine fighter to enter service, and the revolutionary Hawker P.1127 that evolved into the Harrier, the world's first operational vertical takeoff jet fighter. Camm's career spanned from biplanes to VTOL -- few designers matched that range.
