Supermarine Spitfire 1923-63
Great Britain was once home to a plethora of aircraft manufacturers. The seeds of many of them were sown as the demand for aircraft gained pace following the outbreak of World War One. However, not all survived after the war, and while Supermarine managed to keep going, it could not settle into a profitable aircraft manufacturing business until the mid to late 1920s. However, with the genius mind of Reginald Joseph Mitchell on board, and the colossal orders received for the company’s most famous product, the Spitfire, Supermarine was set on a steady post-war course.
The Spitfire was not the company’s only success story; the Southampton flying boat set the standard in the 1920s, as did the Walrus in the 1930s. Then came the Seafire, which remained in production for ten years, ultimately ending its service career in Korea. With more than 130 images, this new book edition provides insight into the aircraft produced by Supermarine, including those that did not quite make the grade.
