I'm worried that the baby thinks people can't change.

<actually>Dunkirk would have been mostly Hurricanes.</actually>
145 RAF aircraft shot down, more than 40 of them Spitfires! Also, I'm pretty sure British WW2 movies are required to have Spitfires :)
Curses to both of you for forcing me to dive deep into British military squadron records to determine the answer to this question.
Now go watch 633 Squadron and The Dambusters too. I shall expect a full report.
At least in terms of the _accounts_ of Dunkirk, it's mostly Spitfires. But it's like pulling teeth getting this information.
So far I've seen Squadron 19, 41, 64, 65, 74, 222, 609, 616 flying Spitfires, and Squadron 17, 43, 145, and 245 flying Hurricanes.
But I have yet to find a definitive list of which squadrons were there. Seems like that would be information that would be easier to get?
OK so I have concluded my EXEMPLARY RESEARCH.
Tom is required to turn in his British history badge, since Operation Dynamo was _the first_ to feature "Spitfires in quantity".
Although there were substantially more Hurricanes _lost_ during the operation, most were not in service. They were destroyed on the ground.
So, Dunkirk seems to not have been "mostly Hurricanes", at least not in terms of what would have been in the air.
