The Spitfire is the most famous aircraft ever to have served in the Royal Air Force. It remained in production for twelve years and with over 22,000 having been built. At the end of its development life the Spitfire carried an engine giving more than twice the power and weighing three quarters more than the prototype. Many countries from around the world operated the Spitfire and many still fly today at air shows displaying its superb maneuverability to an adoring public.
Produced by the Supermarine subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrongs, the Spitfire was designed by the company's Chief Designer R. J. Mitchell, who continued to refine the design until his death from cancer in 1937, the position of chief designer then filled by his colleague, Joseph Smith. Its elliptical wing had a thin cross-section, allowing a higher top speed than the Hawker Hurricane and other contemporary designs; it also resulted in a distinctive appearance, enhancing its overall streamlined features. Much loved by its pilots, the Spitfire saw service during the whole of the Second World War and subsequent years, in all theatres of war, and in many different variants.
