The Spitfire
is a single-seat fighter that was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft.Over half of all Spitfires were built in the Castle Bromwich Aircraft Factory, which produced a maximum of 320 aircraft per month.
They were used by the Royal Air Force and other Allied countries during and after World War II.
Featuring a semi-elliptical wing shape and Merlin engine, the aircraft reached top speeds of over 600 mph.
The oldest surviving Spitfire is preserved at the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford.
