Graham Pitchfork profiles TWO pilots who flew and fought in the Hurricane
The Hawker 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 Royal Air Force (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.
