It was widely regarded that the Spitfire was one of the greatest fighters of WWII. First flown in 1936, the Spitfire entered WWII just in time for Dunkirk. At Dunkirk the Spitfire established its reputation as a superior fighter than the German ME 109's. The highly maneuverable MKII was an improvement over earlier MK I's. The V-12 was rated at over 1300 hp, and top speed approached 400 mph.
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 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
