History and original application

The Supermarine Spitfire was an icon of British aviation during World War II. Its variant with the so-called “C” type wing was often armed with 20mm Hispano cannons, which gave the aircraft a much greater firepower, utilized during the Battle of Britain and later on many fronts in Europe, Africa, and Asia. The Hispano cannons were highly successful in combat against enemy aircraft in the years 1942-1945.
