Guys load ammunition into the wing magazines for the 20mm Hispano Mk II cannon of a Hawker Hurricane. 22 Dec 1941, RAF Station Tangmere, West Sussex, UK.
Hawker Hurricane (Fighter)

I have a bit of a soft spot for the 'workhorses' of the war. The Hurricane and the P-40 being good examples.
If the fighter aircraft of WWII were a rock band, the Spitfires and Mustangs would be lead guitar and the Hurricane and P-40 would be bass players.
They're in the background just plugging away, nothing flashy, but you'd notice if they were gone.

I feel the same way about the P47 Thunderbolt.
In the pic above every 3rd and 4th round has different banding.
One is probably a tracer but the other?
