SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE

$9.95

Titles: Supermarine Spitfire No’s 1 to 6

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 compatriot 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 six titles covering flight manuals (called Pilot’s Notes by the RAF) for most models of this famous aircraft, including the naval Seafire variant. We also have two Servicing and Descriptive Handbooks and four profile publications. Each title is US$9.95.
