The "best number" for Hurricans is an astonishing 7, though that was against Cr.42 and SM 79 in Africa. One of the kills was a wounded Cr.42 crashing into one of the bombers. The Hurricane pilot eventually had to bail out of his bullet riddled plane.

The claim was treated with disbelief by RAF, but later confirmed by a British infantry unit that had ben right below and seen the whole show.
