The Supermarine Spitfire is the most famous British fighter from World War II. It was an all-metal aircraft with a low-wing configuration, characteristic elliptical wings, a classic tail, and a retractable landing system. The prototype flight took place on March 5, 1936. The Spitfire proved to be a cornerstone of the RAF warfare, continued to perform well after the war, and remained in production for 10 years.

The history of the Spitfire began in the design office of RJ Mitchell, the chief designer of Supermarine. The first aircraft entered RAF units in 1938, but when the Battle of Britain began in the summer of 1940, there were already 19 squadrons of modern aircraft.
