A brief history of the Spitfire Mk.IXc

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc was the Royal Air Force's (RAF) answer to the growing threat of the German Focke-Wulf Fw 190. The Mk.IXc variant entered service in mid-1942 and served for the following years on many World War II fronts—not only in Europe, but also in North Africa and Mediterranean countries. The Mk.IXc became renowned during the Battle of Normandy, in air battles over the English Channel, and while supporting the D-Day landing operations.
