The Spitfire began as a near disaster. The developments of this
famous aircraft took it from uncompromising beginnings to become
the legendary last memorial to a great man - an elegant and, with
its pilots, a highly effective, weapon of war. The Spitfire would
not have happened at all, however, without Mitchell's indomitable
courage and determination in the face of severe physical and
psychological adversity resulting from cancer. His contribution to
the Battle of Britain, and thereafter to the achievement of final
victory in 1945, was so great that our debt to him can never be
repaid. This poignant story is written from a uniquely personal
viewpoint by his son, Gordon Mitchell.
