Description: Of all the aircraft that defended Britain's shores so gallantly during World War II, none inspired affection as did the Spitfire, the fighter that became a symbol of courage and determination during the Battle of Britain.

Mitchell, it brings together a fascinating collection of writings by those who flew, admired or simply loved the Spitfire.

Bates; enthusiasts including Quentin Reyn. As shown softcover title. We are Australia based and ship immediately.
