Supermarine Spitfire
The Supermarine Spitfire
is one of the most famous aircraft of
World War two, but continued in
service for many years after,
both as a front line
fighter and in secondary roles. It was built
in greater numbers than any other British aircraft, and
was the
only Allied fighter to remain in production throughout the war.
Designed by RJ
Mitchell, the aircraft's famous elliptical wing had
a thin cross-section to promote high speed, which endowed
a
higher top speed than its compratriot the
Hurricane, and
many of
its adversaries.
During the Battle of Britain there was a public
perception that the
Spitfire was the main RAF fighter when in fact
the more numerous
Hurricane carried out the most missions.
After the Battle of Britain, the
Spitfire became the backbone of
RAF Fighter Command and saw service in all theatres of the
war,
in several roles including interceptor,
photo-reconnaissance,
fighter-bomber, carrier-based fighter and trainer.
Over 20,000 examples were
built in many different variants, with
two different types of engine and several wing configurations.
We offer
