“An
amazing tribute to the people who designed, built and flew it—a
comprehensive history of one of the most beautiful aircraft ever
manufactured.”—Books Monthly

The
magnificent Vickers Supermarine Spitfire, together with its able partner
the Hawker Hurricane, saved Britain from Nazi invasion in the summer of
1940 and irrevocably changed the course of the Second World War. This
book from Philip Kaplan celebrates one of history’s most important
weapons in a glorious new light. A British national icon, the Spitfire
is the best-known symbol of the war years for generations of Britons.
From the deep, haunting growl of its Rolls-Royce engine, to the elegant
style of its elliptical wing, it is perhaps the most famous and revered
combat airplane ever built.

Kaplan investigates just what it
is that fuels the Spitfire’s compelling mystique. During wartime, it
held an unrivaled reputation amongst Allied and Axis airmen. Today, it
continues to hold aviation enthusiasts in thrall. Kaplan highlights the
immeasurable contributions of Spitfire designers Reginald J. Mitchell
and Joseph Smith, test pilots Jeffrey Quill, Mutt Summers and Alex
Henshaw, and ace Spitfire pilots including Al Deere, Sailor Malan and
Pierre Clostermann. All added to the legend of this lovely, but deadly,
little fighter.

“Can be considered a ‘Potted History’ of the
Spitfire and its military and civilian service, with particular emphasis
being placed on the restoration of AR213. On that basis it will
probably appeal to Spitfire aficionados in particular and to aviation
and war-bird enthusiasts in general.”—NZ Crown Mines
