The Supermarine Spitfire fighter can undoubtedly be considered one of the most famous aircraft in the history of aviation and an icon of British aviation production. Single-engine low-wing aircraft, equipped with a good offensive armament, constituted, in the first versions, together with the Hawker Hurricane the backbone of the fighting departments of the Royal Air Force during the Battle of England against the German Luftwaffe. The victory in the Battle of England helped to ensure strong prestige at Spitfire. It was characterized by its harmonious design, the elliptical wing and the powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. During the war, to respond to the technological innovations of the opponents leading to the development of the formidable Focke-Wulf Fw 190, Spitfire was constantly evolved in aerodynamic configuration and engines. Then the Spitfire Mk IX entered into production, which, thanks to its performance, was able to compare with equal weapons against the most modern German fighters.
