The Spitfire is one of the most charismatic aircraft ever to fly. Today,
although only a handful remain in an airworthy condition, the Spitfire
never fails to captivate young and old with its elegant lines and the
sound of its Rolls Royce Merlin or Griffon engine.

But for all its grace and power, the Spitfire was designed as a weapon of war. During the Second World War the Spitfire flew in every theatre of
conflict over land and sea, and with every Allied air force. It is a
measure of its success that the Spitfire was the only Allied fighter to
begin production before the outbreak of war in 1939 and still be
produced after hostilities ceased in 1945. Indeed, Spitfires were still
being operated well into the 1950s.

In telling the story of this legendary aircraft, the producers have filmed many different Marks in flight and on the ground to television standards. In addition, the programme includes a wealth of archive documenting the Spitfire's earliest flights to the final stages of its development. The Spitfire
is also shown in action during some of its most memorable campaigns
including the momentous Battle of Britain to Seafires aboard aircraft
carriers in the Pacific.
