Spitfire Mk.Vb

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb

Illustrating the strength and adaptability of its basic design, the Supermarine Spitfire saw constant development throughout the Second World War, with over 20,000 aircraft eventually being produced in 24 different marks. The Mark V variant was actually something of a stop-gap upgrade from the aircraft which fought during the Battle of Britain, but with 6,487 produced, it would prove to be the most heavily produced mark of Spitfire. BAE SYSTEMS is a registered trade mark of BAE Systems plc.
