This copy has a damaged dustwrapper, as received from the publisher, and lacks the title page. Otherwise it is as new. The fascinating story of the recovery of a Spitfire I from the sands of Calais during the early 1980s, and its subsequent return to the UK for rebuild and restoration to flying condition. The full history of the airframe from the factory to loss, the aircraft’s operational history with 92 Squadron and the story of the pilots who flew it during its career are also told, as is the unfolding saga of its restoration and return to air in September 2011. P9374 is the earliest mark of Spitfire flying anywhere in the world.
