Supermarine Spitfire

The Supermarine Spitfire was one of the most renowned British fighter aircraft of World War II, with over 20,000 units produced and more than 20 variants. It remains the only British fighter aircraft that was continuously manufactured throughout the war.

Designed by R.J. Mitchell, the chief designer of the Supermarine company, the short-range interceptor aircraft underwent several failed design attempts before finally taking on its elegant, streamlined shape and semi-elliptical wings, powered by the state-of-the-art Rolls-Royce V12 engine, later known as the Merlin engine.

The Spitfire's prototype was also the first aircraft with retractable landing gear. After a brief testing period, the Royal Air Force (RAF) ordered 310 Spitfire MkI fighter planes, which were delivered after overcoming production difficulties.

While Hurricane fighter planes were used to attack bombers during the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire stood out in its battles with the German Bf109 fighter planes that were used for escorting bombers. Throughout the war, the Spitfire underwent continual upgrades to its wings, fuselage, and weapons, and its engine power increased from an early 1,000 horsepower to over 2,300 horsepower by the war's end.

The versatile Spitfire was suitable for various strategic roles, such as high-altitude interception, fighter-bomber, aerial reconnaissance, and even as a carrier-based naval fighter. Mitchell's in-depth and meticulous research influenced later aviators such as the Wright brothers, whose subsequent actions in flight were further inspired by his death.
