Developed in 1938 from a Schneider trophy-winning design by the
aeronautical engineer and designer R.J Mitchell, the Supermarine
Spitfire went on to become the definitive Allied fighter of the
Second World War, and ranks amongst the most famous aircraft of all
time. This pocket manual presents an accessible collection of
fascinating historical documents to help readers explore the
technical and tactical developments relating to the design and use
of this famous aircraft. Sources include the Air Ministry's
original specification for a single-seater day and night fighter,
handling trials of the Spitfire prototype K-5054, squadron fighting
tactics, pilot's log books and pilot's notes for the Mark V, air
group reports and tactical papers. Collectively these give a unique
insight into the Spitfire, illustrating its durability and
adaptability in performing many war-winning roles. With
illustrations and an introduction by historian Martin Robson, The
Spitfire Pocket Manual is an essential volume for any Spitfire
enthusiast.
