The Spitfire PR XIX was the last Spitfire with elliptical wings and was the last RAF
Spitfire type in front-line service. The PR XIX was a combination of power by the Griffon
engine of the Mk. XIV and the wings of the PR XI making it the fastest Spitfire. Weapons
were removed to allow for larger fuel tanks in the leading edge of the wings making it
possible to fly missions as far as Berlin at altitudes over 40,000 feet. By the end of
production 225 XIX had been made.
