The Dark Truth About the Spitfire
This is its full and turbulent story, from the Battle of Britain in its darkest hour all the way to the Pacific and the carrier battles against Japanese Zeros. By the end of the war, the Spitfire had been adapted into more than two dozen variants. Some were optimized for high-altitude interception, others for reconnaissance, and even naval use as the Seafire. It was one of the few fighters that stayed in production before, during, and after the war.
