Condition: very good, with shelf wear and slight creasing to the cover.
An illustrated guide to the Supermarine Spitfire, used by the Royal Air Force and Allies in World War II.
"Men came from every corner of the free world to fly and fight in Spitfires. Men from countries where freedom had a meaning in their minds. A babel of tongues chattered in her cockpit, and all came to love her for her thoroughbred qualities.
Today there are only a handful of Spitfires still flying and seldom can be heard that nostalgic whistling call as she arcs across the sky. But occasionally, after all these years, I am privileged to fly in that familiar cockpit again when the song of her Merlin engine brings back a hundred memories of those valiant years."
