| Hawker Pacific Aerospace |  | Hawker Pacific Aerospace's history began in 1912 with Harry Hawker asking Thomas Sopwith for flying lessons. Within a few years Hawker became one of the best pilots of his time. He was Sopwith's top test pilot. After World War I the government canceled all orders with Sopwith leaving him in financial ruins. Hawker and a group of people took over all of Sopwith's patent rights, forming Hawker Engineering. In 1921 Harry Hawker died from injuries obtained from a airplane crash. After Hawker's death Thomas Sopwith became Chairman of Hawker Engineering. Within a short time Hawker Engineering had taken over many other companies related to Aviation. In 1933, Hawker Engineering became Hawker Aircraft Ltd., and shortly after that became Hawker Siddeley Company. In 1934, Hawker Aircraft was given the contract to build an aircraft for the RAF. This aircraft became one England's strongest weapons against Germany, the Hurricane. Hawker Siddeley went on to produce many other aircraft for the war effort. | | Visit Website | | Office Address | 11240 Sherman Way,
