We go inside the Spitfire Factory to witness the painstaking restoration of a WW2 icon. Watch as engineers attempt the high-pressure "wing-mating" of a Mark 9 Spitfire and unbox a $100,000 shipment of rare parts from Australia. We also join a secret archaeological dig to recover a Hawker Hurricane shot down in 1940, confirming its identity through forensic evidence.
