The British fighter Spitfire is one of the “flying legends” of World War II. The Spitfire Mk.IX modification was raised on the base of the Mk.V in 1942 with the installation of the more potent engine.
This airplane was reliable, easy to service and possessed excellent flight characteristics. The Mk.IX was used in the European theatre of WWII in many roles: as universal (F), low-altitude (LF) and high-altitude (HF) fighters, and as fighter-bombers.
Spitfire Mk.IX was in service by the RAF, USAAF, Air Forces of the USSR, France, Italy, Czechoslovakia and some other states.
Spitfire Mk.VII fighters were built in August 1942. This modification is intended for intercepting high-altitude enemy aircraft and has a pressurized cabin and wing with extended tips.
