When England stood alone against forces that had ravaged Europe and seemed poised to conquer the world, an elegant, elliptical-winged fighter emerged as a powerful symbol of freedom. The legendary Spitfire, directed by radar in the company of other British aircraft, was able to stem the Luftwaffe's tide of destruction and gain precious time for Allied forces to respond. Along with a number of Spitfire models, this book contains photographs of the Spitfire Mk 11A of the RAF Battle of Britain Flight, the oldest airworthy Spitfire in the world, which actually saw combat in the Battle of Britain. Text and historical photographs chronicle the evolution of aircraft designer Reginald Mitchell's Supermarine S.6B through World War II to the Spitfire Mk 24, still flying with auxiliary forces in 1955.
