Spitfire: The Biography

First flown in 1936, the Spitfire soon came to symbolize Britain's defiance of Nazi Germany in the summer of 1940. Flown by pilots of many nations, it saw service as far afield as Australia and the Soviet Union. This work is a celebration of a great British invention, of the men and women who flew it and supported its development.
