fellow_human@lemmy.zipContext: The Hawker Hurricane is often overshadowed by the prettier Spitfire, but during the Battle of Britain it really did the heavy lifting. It accounted for roughly 60 percent of Luftwaffe losses. Skeletor here is just giving credit where it’s due before disappearing back into the shadows.

The fancy things rarely do the hard work.
It’s always the ugly./plain thing that actually pulls its weight.
That said, the hurricane looks like a neat plane, so I wouldn’t even call it ugly or plain, just not “flashy”

There were more hurricanes than spitfires, because they were easier to make.
