Reseña del editor

Produced in greater numbers than any other Spitfire variant, the Mark V, powered by a 12-cylinder Rolls-Royce engine, put the RAF Fighter Command on an equal playing field with the Luftwaffes Fw 190 and remained in service until the end of World War II. As an operational history, this illustrated account tells the aircrafts story from the viewpoint of the various squadrons that flew it, drawing on pilots combat reports, firsthand anecdotes, RAF intelligence and archival photography to present a detailed account of some of the most memorable air battles over northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
