Best Answer

RAF Fighter Command's primary fighters used in the Battle of Britain was the Hawker Hurricane and the Supermarine Spitfire.

There were far more Hurricane's available and they proved effective against German bombers as well as fighters, however the Spitfire was more agile and a preferred choice to engage German fighters.
