摘要

The Hurricane provided a stark contrast for many pilots who started their flying careers during the era of the biplane fighter. Its sleek shape matched its performance; it had retractable undercarriage and formidable armament. Born in Chelmsford in February 1920, Wilf Sizer joined the RAF on a short service commission in March 1938. After completing his pilot training he first joined 17 Squadron flying the Gauntlet biplane but soon transferred to 213 Squadron at Wittering. Sizer had become an accomplished fighter pilot by the time 213 was re-equipped with the Hurricane I. Within days of the German invasion of France on May 10, 1940, the Hurricane units of the Air Component of the British Expeditionary Force in France had suffered heavy losses. ACM Sir Hugh Dowding, C-in-C of Fighter Command, came under intense pressure from the War Cabinet to send more fighters to France. He was fearful of losing more of his precious Hurricanes and their pilots but accepted a compromise of sending eight half-squadrons.
