The Supermarine Spitfire is the most iconic fighter ever to have worn the markings of the Royal Air Force. This legendary aircraft was a vital part of the UK's air defenses during the Battle of Britain and served throughout the war in many different roles all over the world. This hardback book looks at the role of the aircraft and features over 70 illustrations of the Spitfire. It also includes cutaways that show the structure of the aircraft that demonstrate what made this such a unique aircraft.
Interesting little book which I picked up at the Avto Lancaster museum. A quick read but full of interesting photos and facts, especially the explanation of each of the Marks throughout the lifetime of this aircraft.
It's just OK,I guess. Pretty good for beginners to read on the subject of this very famous World War II aircraft. Information inside the book are not very comprehensive and detailed as I would prefer or expected, though.
