Description

Supermarine Spitfire is today seen as one of the greatest fighter aircraft ever built. Go to any airshow and there will be airframes powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin. Some will be Mustangs, possibly a Lancaster, even a Hawker Hurricane, however it is likely that the carrier of the engine will be a Supermarine Spitfire. Each type has its own particular soundwave, and that of the Spitfire is not only distinctive but a source of great pleasure to its many fans. It is the fighter that characterized the British effort in World War II. This book offers details on Spitfire development, technical cutaways, and in-depth information on fighters, reconnaissance, and Spitfires in the Battle of Britain. Warbird Tech Volume 35.
