Popular history has a tendency to simplify, and accounts of the
life and career of aeronautical engineer R.J. Mitchell are no
exception. Remembered most fondly for his epochal Spitfire design,
his other designs - many of them failures and disappointments -
have largely been ignored. As a designer for Supermarine, Mitchell
produced a huge body of concepts, projects and ideas that never
left the drawing board. In Beyond the Spitfire Ralph Pegram brings
Mitchell's previously unseen work to light in an attempt to
evaluate the entire portfolio of one of Britain's most talented
aeronautical designers. Illustrated with a combination of layout
drawings and impressive CGI renderings of Mitchell's designs, this
book is an insightful and indispensable addition to our
understanding of the work of a man often called a genius.
