One chapter of Czechoslovakia is also connected with the
Hurricanes history. Many Czechoslovak pilots who did not accept the Nazi
occupation left for England, to fight fascism. And it was here that some
relied on combat qualities Hurricanes. Many Czechoslovaks prevailed in the
fight, many of them became air aces. Many distinguished themselves in the
Battle and Britain. Many also in the cockpits They paid the Hurricanes for the
most expensive life. For example, Josef František air ace from the Battle of
Britain with 17 victories. He died on October 8, 1940 in his Hurrican Mk I. , in
an accident. The merits of Hurricanes are best described by an acquaintance
Churchill's statement: Never before in history have so many people been so
grateful a bunch of pilots and their machines. In September 1944, the Langley
plant produced the last hurricane with the number PZ862. It was the
inscription: Last of the Many (Last of the Many) Is exhibited at the Aviation
