Assembled in one package for the first time, Hawker Heroes offers you the chance to fly four of the most iconic aircraft ever to take to the skies. First flown in 1931, the Hawker Fury set the template for all fighter aircraft that would follow. The first fighter aircraft to exceed 200 MPH in level flight, the Fury held the world in awe with its incredible handling and defined a standard in military aviation.
The Hawker Hurricane was the hero of the Battle of Britain, changing the course of World War 2 by being responsible for more enemy kills than any other aircraft. Beloved by her pilots and feared by her adversaries, to this day many believe that the Hurricane is the finest fighter aircraft ever built. Its replacement, the Hawker Typhoon, quickly became one of the most formidable ground attack aircraft of the war years. By the end of World War 2 the RAF were operating 18 Typhoon squadrons equipped with deadly rockets. Pressed into service on D-Day to turn back the tide of armour on the Normandy beaches the Typhoon was instrumental in the liberation of Europe.
Next to enter service in 1944, the Hawker Tempest was developed to have outstanding acceleration with excellent climb and dive performance. Its introduction was fortuitous being one of the few aircraft able to intercept and shoot down the V1 flying bomb.
Legendary Avro Lancaster, a four-engine heavy bomber hailed as "the greatest single factor in winning the war" by Sir Arthur Harris, Wartime commander of RAF Bomber Command, entered service in 1942 and by the end of the Second World War had been involved in over 150,000 sorties. Most famous for its precision bombing "Dam Buster" raids, codenamed Operation Chastise, on the dams of the Ruhr Valley, the Lancaster excelled at night bombing. Title includes 10 varients of the aircraft's improved weapons or equipment, as well as two missions (in FSX) that will help you learn to fly this legendary World War II aircraft.
