HAWKER'S EARLY JETS: Dawn of the Hunter
On September 2, 1947, Hawker Aircraft Ltd figuratively and literally took to the air with the first jet design, the P.1040. Conceived in the latter days of WWII, and developed in the straitened times of post-war austerity, the aircraft allowed Hawker to explore the new technology before moving on to more ambitious programs.
