The Spitfire Story (HB) - Description
The Spitfire is probably the most famous
Second World War fighter aircraft. Alfred Price, international authority on the
Spitfire, traces the life of the aircraft that has become a living legend. From
the original design concept of Reginald Mitchell to the first flight in 1936,
and on through 12 years of continuous development, this extensively illustrated history of the Spitfire has benefited from
the help of many people engaged in the design, production and testing of the
Spitfire, in particular Jeffrey Quill, the former Chief Test Pilot for
Supermarine.
