Despite limited interest from the RAF, the Gnat proved its capabilities with excellent performance and maneuverability. It gained recognition when exported to countries like Finland, Yugoslavia, and especially India, where it became the mainstay of their air force.

The Hawker Hurricane, on the other hand, holds a special place in the early years of WWII as the RAF's vital fighter. These resilient fighters, with their partly fabric-covered monoplane design, valiantly defended against the numerically superior Luftwaffe during the Blitzkrieg. Although slower than the Bf109, the Hurricane's agility and durability made it a formidable opponent.
