The Supermarine Spitfire is a legendary British single-seat fighter aircraft renowned for its speed, agility, and sleek design. Developed by R.J. Mitchell and introduced in 1938, it played a pivotal role in the Battle of Britain and other World War II campaigns. Powered by Rolls-Royce Merlin and later Griffon engines, the Spitfire’s versatility made it adaptable for various roles, including reconnaissance and interception. Its elliptical wings and advanced aerodynamics made it both a formidable combat machine and an enduring symbol of British aviation excellence.
