Post subject: [UK 1938] Spitfire Mk.IA
|
 |
|
Designed by Reginald Mitchell, the Spitfire prototype first flew on 5 March 1936. During the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire MkI was probably the only fighter in the world able to confront the German Messerschmitt BF 109 as
equal. In total, 1566 MkIs were built.
The Spit I is possibly the best fighter in the world at the beginning of the war. Its only real weakness is the carburettor engine, which its natural opponent, the BF109E, will try to exploit.

Thanks. Very even looking with the Me109 though does have more fire power.
