The Supermarine Spitfire is the most recognisable fighter aircraft from the Second World War. Its speed, agility and firepower, combined with the skill and bravery of the pilots who flew it, made the aircraft a true flying legend. The Spitfire had its roots in a series of high performance racing aircraft designed by RJ Mitchell at Supermarine in the 1930s, which proved to be considerably faster than the frontline fighters of the day. Quick to spot its potential, Supermarine privately developed the Type 300 fighter prototype and the Air Ministry were suitably impressed,... placing an initial order for 310 aircrafts. It first went into RAF service in August 1938 and the rest is history. Along with the hurricane, it provided a formidable fighter during the Battle of Britain and continued to see service in vary marks throughout the war in almost every theatre. [show more]
