Historical Background:

The Supermarine Spitfire is arguably the most famous and beautiful fighter aircraft ever to grace the skies. First flying in 1936, R.J. Mitchell's masterpiece was the interceptor of choice for Fighter Command by 1940, and the envy of many of the world's air arms. Powered by the equally famous Rolls-Royce Merlin V12, the Spitfire was capable of speeds of over 360mph and had exceptional maneuverability.

The Spitfire was an excellent dog-fighter, able to turn on the inside of an opponent to great effect during the struggles over southern England and the English Channel during the Battle of Britain. The Spitfire Mark I has come to be seen as a symbol of 'The Few', vital to the defense of the United Kingdom against the previously all-conquering Luftwaffe. Along with the Hurricane, it cemented its place in history during the Battle of Britain and continues to be a hugely desirable 'warbird' at airshows.
