Description:This is the story of how R J Mitchell’s design for a single-engined fighter became the legend that is the Spitfire. Earning both admiration and gratitude for its exploits in the Battle of Britain over the southern skies of England in the summer of 1940 against the overwhelming might of the German Luftwaffe, this amazing aeroplane went on to become a versatile and adaptable asset that earned it the accolade of being the best fighter aircraft of WWII. Not just an air-defence fighter, this aesthetically pleasing plane has received plaudits for its capabilities as both a fighter-bomber and a fast, high-flying reconnaissance aircraft. The Spitfire is a lasting tribute to the memory of all those brave airmen who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of their country. Outnumbered in terms of aircraft during the war, the legendary Supermarine Spitfire’s were mainly flown by young men barely out of school, whose skill, courage and fortitude overcame tremendous odds. These RAF pilots became known as ‘The Few’ and among them was a young Spitfire pilot, Geoffrey Wellum, nicknamed ‘Boy’ on his first squadron because of his tender years. Within three years he was grounded, mentally and physically exhausted by the rigours of war. This book celebrates the remarkable achievements of this aircraft and also features a chapter on Geoffrey Wellum.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
