Later models of the famous Battle of Britain de Havilland Spitfire were powered by the high performance 12-cylinder Rolls Royce Griffon engine, sporting contra-rotating propellers. Due to the modifications required to fit this large powerplant, plus the resulting performance increase, these are often viewed as some of the more interesting of the Spitfire variants. Included in this volume are tech illustrations, developmental history, airframe modifications, exploded view, cutaways, and pilot's reports.
