The Spitfire is indelibly etched in the annals of history as the most famous fighter plane ever built. However, the legendary aircraft is not merely one design—it is an amalgamation of many changes and refinements that resulted in unique characteristics for each version. Best-selling aviation historian Alfred Price has created a classic using a collection of vintage photographs and interviews with those involved in the design, construction, and testing of the Spitfire, to bring the fascinating history of this mighty fighter to life.
