Hawker Hurricane in Free French Service

Hawker Hurricane in Free French Service

Hawker Hurricanes were used by the Forces Aériennes Françaises Libres (FAFL), the Free French Air Force and Navy, fighting in North Africa between June 1940 and May 1943 . The Hurricanes, like all FAFL aircraft, sported the Cross of Lorraine on the fuselage, instead of the roundel in order to distinguish them from those aircraft flying for the Vichy French air force. These squadrons were generally formed within the RAF, operating with RAF squadron numbers, so that Groupe de Chasse Alsace was known in British circles as No. 341 Squadron RAF.
