About the Supermarine Spitfire The Supermarine Spitfire was a single-seat fighter used by the RAF and many Allied countries in World War II. Produced by Supermarine, the Spitfire was designed by R.J. Mitchell, who continued to refine it until his death from cancer in 1937. The elliptical wing had a thin cross-section, allowing a higher top speed than the Hurricane and other contemporary designs; it also resulted in a distinctive appearance. Much loved by its pilots, the Spitfire saw service during the whole of World War II, in all theatres of war, and in many different variants. More than 20,300 examples of all variants were built, including two-seat trainers, with some Spitfires remaining in service well into the 1950s. It was the only fighter aircraft to be in continual production before, during and after the war. 234 Squadron of the RAF had the distinctive motto of, “We spit fire and death”. Highly appropriate for a squadron that flew Spitfires during WWII! This fighter squadron fought in the Battle of Britain, and with its Spitfires, it covered the Allied invasion beaches in Normandy. The Mark V Spitfire was essentially a Mk. I or II fuselage strengthened to accommodate a Merlin 45 engine, and it was the most widely produced Spitfire variant of the war. Meanwhile, the “Vb” designation referred to a fighter with four .303 machine guns and two 20mm cannons. This scale replica Spitfire is highly accurate, and is singled out by its novel markings and paint scheme. The standard camouflage scheme has been painted over with the special black and white stripes that were used to identify Allied aircraft during the Normandy campaign.
