The most famous British fighter of WWII is undoubtedly the Spitfire, a hero of the Battle of Britain. This model has a delicately painted camouflage scheme, is subtly weathered, has exhaust nozzle streaks and well-sculpted panel lines. This Spitfire is armed with a pair of 20mm cannons and has the markings of No 616. Squadron. The 616 squadron's motto was "No rose without a thorn" and was based in South Yorkshire. They flew in the Battle of Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, and later flew sweeps over France. This plane carries the markings of a No 616 Squadron Spitfire Mk.Vb operating in August 1941, and the livery has been replicated in an outstanding fashion. Designed by R.J.Michell to meet a British Air Ministry specification, the Supermarine Spitfire first flown on March 5th, 1936. With its combination of beautiful fighter design, the excellent performance of its Rolls-Royce Merlin powerplant and firepower provided by twin cannons and four machine guns, the Spitfire became an unrivaled symbol of victory. The Spitfire had 40 major variants and was built in greater numbers than any other British aircraft of the time. It flew operationally on every front between 1939 and 1945 and was engaged in every one of the Royal Air Force's major actions. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
