It was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft and was the only Allied fighter in production throughout the war.The Spitfire was designed as a short-range high-performance interceptor aircraft with an elliptical wing, allowing a higher top speed than several contemporary fighters, including the Hawker Hurricane. Supermarine developed a two-seat variant known as the Mk VIII to be used for training.About the SeriesThis is a series of highly illustrated books on the key machines of World War II and their combat use.
