Description
Written by Bruce Robertson, this comprehensive work traces the complete history of the legendary Supermarine Spitfire. From its origins through the early days of the “Phoney War”, and from its pivotal role during the Battle of Britain to the final victories in Europe and the Far East, this book explores every aspect of its operational history.
Divided into three main sections, this volume combines historical narrative with technical precision. It offers a detailed inventory of surviving aircraft, a comprehensive study of Commonwealth liveries and production schedules.
Model makers and historians will find a wealth of documentary material, including cockpit plans, technical sectional diagrams, and a unique collection of 1/72 scale drawings covering all variants, from the original prototype Supermarine Spitfire K5054 to the naval Supermarine Seafire.
Illustrated with numerous period photographs and paintings by W. F. Hepworth, this book is an essential reference for any enthusiast wishing to uncover the secrets of this icon of British aviation.
