    Enter a Legend

    The iconic Spitfire fighter was one of the backbones of the RAF in the
    desperate struggle for the skies during WWII, sporting a refined design
    and aesthetically pleasing elliptical wing, plus the proven Rolls Royce
    Merlin engine. It first flew in March 1936, and some two and a half
    years later in August 1938 the first production Spitfires - the Mk.I -
    started to reach units. This Mk.I would have a vital role to play in the
    Battle of Britain as the RAF and Luftwaffe played out a titanic
    struggle for the skies, and the successful fighting off of the Luftwaffe
    ensured that the Spitfire earned international fame that continues even
    in the modern day.
