Overview:
The Supermarine Spitfire is one of the most popular warbirds in history. This British single-
seat fighter was used by the Royal Air Force and the Allies, earning distinction during the
Battle of Britain and throughout World War II. Over 20,300 aircraft were produced with more than
24 variants. The Spitfire's versatility and maneuverability made it a lethal aircraft against Axis forces,
such as the Focke Wulf FW-190. The Spitfire continues to fly in modern times as a tribute to
aviation history and military veterans.
