Description
A fascinating, hands-on tour of an aviation legend and a mechanical work of art. Much more fun than a technical manual, it offers a readable, richly illustrated and step-by-step walkthrough of the Spitfire's controls and systems, giving a unique impression of what it was like to actually pilot one. Discover pre-flight essentials, flying techniques, navigation and communication methods, combat skills, maintenance know-how, and the history and legacy of the Spitfire, with stories from the Battle of Britain, its global service and post-war restoration projects.
