No. 310 Squadron of the Royal Air Force (RAF) was a fighter squadron formed during World War II, primarily composed of Czechoslovak pilots who fled Nazi occupation. Established on July 10, 1940, at RAF Duxford, it played a critical role in the Battle of Britain, flying Hawker Hurricanes. Later, it transitioned to Supermarine Spitfires and contributed to offensive operations over occupied Europe. The squadron demonstrated exceptional skill and determination, achieving notable combat success. After the war, it returned to Czechoslovakia but was disbanded in 1950 following political changes. The squadron remains a symbol of international cooperation and the Czechoslovak resistance. 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.
