It was an all-metal aircraft with a low-wing configuration, distinctive elliptical wings, a classic tail, and retractable landing gear. The prototype’s maiden flight took place on March 5, 1936. The Spitfire proved to be the backbone of the RAF’s war effort, continuing to serve effectively after the war and remaining in production for 10 years. The history of the Spitfire began on the drawing board of R.J. Mitchell, Supermarine’s chief designer. The first aircraft were delivered to RAF units in 1938, but by the time the Battle of Britain began in the summer of 1940, there were already 19 squadrons of modern fighters at airfields—along with the slightly older Hurricane “Islands,” 600 aircraft were defending the skies. As hostilities expanded, the Spitfire saw service wherever the RAF operated—in the Far East, North Africa, and Italy; during the Normandy landings and the fighting in France; and finally during the campaign in Germany in 1945. For many Britons, it became a symbol of victory in World War II. This marvelous aircraft has at least a dozen production variants. The most significant include, among others, the first mass-produced Spitfire Mk.I, powered by a 1,030 CV Rolls-Royce Merlin II engine. It was primarily this aircraft that made such an outstanding contribution to the Battle of Britain. Many versions of this model were developed, including the PR Mk IA (reconnaissance version) and the PR.IG (armed reconnaissance version). Another interesting version was the Spitfire Mk.V, equipped with a 1,440 CV Rolls-Royce Merlin 45 engine. Later, Merlin 50 engines were also installed. Mass production of this version began in 1941 and was the RAF’s response to the appearance of the Messerschmitt Bf-109F. Another highly successful version is the Spitfire Mk.IX, powered by a Merlin 61 engine with a four-bladed propeller. It was designed to counter the Focke-Wulf Fw-190 and entered production in late 1941. This version underwent several modifications; for example, in 1944 it was equipped with a new gyroscopic sight, a wider rudder, and a different wing configuration. Another major variant is the Spitfire Mk.XIV, equipped with a Rolls-Royce Griffon 61 engine and a five-bladed propeller. Mass production began in October 1943. One of the last series produced was the Mk.21 version. This version had a Griffon 61 engine, a heavily reinforced airframe and fuselage, and the wings were lengthened, increasing their wing area. Mass production began in March 1945. Technical specifications (Mk.XIV version): length: 9.14 m, wingspan: 11.23 m, height: 3.05 m, maximum speed: 717 km/h, rate of climb: 18.5 m/s, service ceiling: 13,200 m, maximum range: 1,815 km, armament: fixed—4 × 7.7 mm machine guns and 2 × 20 mm Hispano Mk II cannons; external—up to 225 kg of bombs.

1/32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ia (Mid)The Supermarine Spitfire was a single-seat, single-engine, low-wing fighter aircraft produced by the British firm Supermarine Aviation Works in the 1930s and 1940s. Employed in Europe, North Africa, Australia and Asia, it became one of the iconic planes of World War II mainly because of its effective and decisive contribution to the victorious British resistance to German aggression during the Battle of Britain and the conflict years.In the Battle of Britain, it shared with the Hawker Hurricane the difficult task of defending territory from Luftwaffe attacks. Employed by the airforces of numerous Allied countries - such as the Soviet Union, Australia and the United States of America - it was the only Allied fighter produced for the duration of the war.Made in some 40 different versions, it is probably the aircraft with design and construction evolution superior to any other model, in the entire history of flight.Including the 2,556 Seafire, 20,351 examples were produced until 1947, when the last Mk.24 rolled off the assembly lines. After the war it was still employed for a long time by the air forces of France, the Netherlands, Greece, Turkey, Belgium, India, Italy and Czechoslovakia.The RAF's last operational front-line mission was carried out on April 1, 1954 by a PR19 Spitfire reconnaissance aircraft of No. 81 RAF Squadron.[9] But the Spitfire continued to be used for three more years by Temperature and Humidity Flight, for meteorological measurements, until June 1957, when it was discharged.It was considered by British ace Johnnie Johnson "the best conventional defensive fighter of the war."
