The Spitfire MkV, constructed at the beginning of 1941, had a more powerful engine and armament than previous versions. In spite of this, the frantic technological race that characterized the air war in Europe soon produced a superior rival in the Focke-Wulf Fw 190. The Spitfire then underwent a series of further modifications that produced the MkIX, the second most numerous Spitfire variant. This model is finished in the late-war green and gray camouflage. Designed by R.J.Michell to meet a British Air Ministry specification, the Supermarine Spitfire first flown on March 5th, 1936. With its combination of beautiful fighter design, the excellent performance of its Rolls-Royce Merlin powerplant and firepower provided by twin cannons and four machine guns, the Spitfire became an unrivaled symbol of victory. The Spitfire had 40 major variants and was built in greater numbers than any other British aircraft of the time. It flew operationally on every front between 1939 and 1945 and was engaged in every one of the Royal Air Force's major actions. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
