The Spitfire had superior top speeds Women's Nike Air Presto Uncaged Ultra Pink Australia , because of its elliptical-wing structure, than other of the fighters being used such as the Hawker Hurricane. Speed was crucial to carrying out missions successfully against the enemy bombers. The Spitfires has a better win record than the Hurricanes but there were more Hurricanes in use in the RAF back then. But let’s take a look back at where the Spitfire began.
Throughout the year of 1938 the first Spitfire used by the Royal Air Force was a Mark 1 model. By the time the war began 9 RAF squadrons were using spitfires but initially onle one squadron, the 19th squadron had Spitfires. The first 77 of these Spitfires had fixed-pitched, two-bladed propellers. The other ones were equipped with two-position Mens Nike Air Presto Essential Green Australia , three-bladed airscrews. With a coarse pitch to be used for cruising and a fine pitch used for taking off. The first victory gained by the Spitfires was in Whiby where a Heinkel He-111 was shot down by the Catterick based 41st Squadron.
It was recommended that the Spitfires be used for photographic reconnaissance because of their speed. In 1939 some of the Mk I planes were changed over to do the job. The guns on the Spitfires wings were replaced with large-format aerial cameras which were also adjusted so that they could produce a stereoscopic effect.
In 1945, there was one final battle waged by the Luftwaffe. An ambush was made with 800 various aircraft on Allied Airfields during the dawn. Although all suffered losses the Luftwaffe did not recover from theirs.
The F.21 Spitfire was first used by the 91st Squadron. It was used to fly armed reconnaissance and two of them attacked a small submarine that had surfaced, and reported it sunk.
After World War II ended more fighting was done in the Dutch East Indies by the British and they used Spitfires yet again. The 155th Squadron did attacks on an assortment of ground targets one being a Surabaya radio station.
In 1951 the 60th Squadon flew the last Spitfires on an offensive mission however Spitfires were still used by the 81st Squadon purely for reconnaissance missions. These Spitfires, however were replaced by Meteor FR10’s in 1954 with the last photographic reconnaissance flight being performed by the Spitfire in this year.
When it became time for the Spitfire to be no longer used on the front-line it was used for some non-operations assignments. The last Spitfires to be actively used were for Temperature and Humidity flights. They performed greater than four thousand of these flights before being replaced by Mosquitos in 1957.
Only a small amoount of Spitfires are left nowadays and are either owned privately or flown by the RAF as part of the “Battle of Britain Memorial Flight”.
If you have an interest in Spitfires or any other type of aircraft then have you considered radio controlled planes or perhaps a remote control helicopter? With an RC model you can take to the skies in your very own mini plane or helicopter.
