This is without doubt the one and only publication for the discerning Spitfire aficionado. I purchased the first release in 1989 and still use it as a reference. The update was most tempting but I could not justify the cost of a new copy. I secured this one from Westland Books and a very big thank you to them for a first rate service. This book is not for those wishing to browse pretty colour pictures of this magnificent aircraft but a lifelong companion to refer to on technical subjects often difficult to find elsewhere.
