Synopses & Reviews
The Spitfire was the finest fighter plane of its time, the weapon that saved Britain in its darkest hour. It was also a thing of beauty, beloved by the heroes who fought in it and the public that cheered as it flew overhead. Now, a magnificently produced book--filled with first-person reminiscences and lavishly illustrated with archival and contemporary photographs--pays fitting tribute to this enduring World War II icon.
