| 説明 | Developed from the Schneider seaplanes by the late R.J. Mitchell (and to the same specification as the Hurricane), it has kept in the very forefront of fighter progress. With Rolls Royce engines throughout its many modifications, it can safely claim to have the measure of anything the Luftwaffe can send against it.In the cloudy days of 1940, Spitfires and Hurricanes achieved results which are known throughout the world, and have been worthily eulogised by far more worthy than can be set down here. It should be remembered that the Spitfires tackled the German fighters while the Hurricanes took care of the bombers.Now serving in all parts and under all conditions, the Spitfire will be found wherever there is trouble in the sky. A recent addition is the Seafire, adapted for the Fleet Air Arm and flown from aircraft carriers.The only regrettable fact in the “Spit’s” history is that its inspired designer could not live to see the result of his work on the whole course of the war.Manufacturers: Vickers-Armstrong Ltd, and produced in subsidiary factories.Type: British single-seat fighter developed from S5, S6 and S6B of Schneider Trophy fame and from the F7/30 type to meet requirements of F36/34.Engine: Rolls Royce MerlinSpeed: Maximum, 387mph at 18,500ftRange: Very difficult to assess, as duration varies from three to six hours, according to the nature of duties undertaken.Ceiling: 36,000ftRate of climb: 2,300 ft per minuteArmament: Mk 1A – 8 Browning .303 machine guns (4 in each wing)..
