Brief Historical Overview

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX is one of the most recognizable British fighters of World War II. Introduced into service in 1942, the Spitfire Mk. IX was a direct response to the threat posed by the German Focke-Wulf Fw 190. It participated in numerous operations of the Royal Air Force (RAF) and other Allied countries (including Poland, Canada, Czechoslovakia) on the Western and Southern Fronts until the end of the war.
