The Supermarine Spitfire first took flight on March 5, 1936, and has since become one of the most iconic British aircraft in history. A mainstay of the Royal Air Force, it played a crucial role in defending Britain and supporting Allied forces throughout WWII, remaining in service well into the 1950s. Designed by R.J. Mitchell, the Spitfire was renowned for its speed, agility, and distinctive elliptical wings, which gave it a decisive edge in dogfights. It became a symbol of British resilience during the Battle of Britain and remains a beloved icon of aviation history.
