History:

The Supermarine Spitfire was an answer to the Royal Air Force's need for a modern fighter plane. An evolution of Schneider Trophy-winning aircraft and other failed attempts to introduce an all-metal monoplane, the Spitfire was a technological leap beyond existing cloth-covered biplanes. Its sleek, all-metal design, paired with an inline V-12 Merlin engine, allowed it to reach exceptional speeds. When the prototype first flew in 1936, it was the fastest military aircraft in the world. While initially ordered in fewer numbers than the Hawker Hurricane, the Spitfire would eventually far surpass the Hurricane in both production and use by the end of the war.
