The Spitfire Mk 1 was the backbone of the RAF Fighter Command after the Battle of Britain, and it was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft.
It was designed as a short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft by R. J. Mitchell, chief designer for Supermarine Aviation Works. Because of its cross-section elliptical wing is was able to gain higher top speed than several other contemporary fighters including the Hawker Hurricane.
The Spitfire is just one of many replicas we use on Aces High, the number one World War 2 flight simulator. Try our free two-week download and find out just how much fun a flight sim game can be.
