The Supermarine Spitfire
is a British single-seat fighter aircraft
used by the Royal Air Force and other Allied countries
before, during, and after World War II.
 
Many variants of the Spitfire were built,
from the Mk 1 to the Rolls-Royce Griffon engined Mk 24
using several wing configurations and guns.
It was the only British fighter produced continuously throughout the war,
and the Spitfire remains popular among enthusiasts,
around 70 remain airworthy,
and many more are static exhibits in aviation museums throughout the world.
 
The Spitfire was designed as a short-range,
high-performance interceptor aircraft by R. J. Mitchell,
chief designer at Supermarine Aviation Works,
which operated as a subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrong from 1928.
Mitchell developed the Spitfire’s distinctive elliptical wing
with innovative sunken rivets (designed by Beverley Shenstone)
to have the thinnest possible cross-section,
achieving a potential top speed
greater than that of several contemporary fighter aircraft,
including the Hawker Hurricane.
Mitchell continued to refine the design until his death in 1937,
whereupon his colleague Joseph Smith
took over as chief designer,
overseeing the Spitfire’s development through many variants.
