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. A British national icon, the Spitfire is the best-known symbol of the war years for generations of Britons. This new book from Philip Kaplan celebrates one of history's most important weapons in a glorious new light.
Kaplan investigates just what it is that fuels the Spitfire's compelling mystique. 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. 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
