Spitfire: A Very British Love Story

Product Information

The author could have focused just on the pilot's stories, or how the Spitfire handled itself in battle, however, by choosing to add in some historical facts about WW2 at the same time, I feel as though I have travelled through time, learning more about those 6 years we were at war in a way I wasn’t taught or have read about previously. Take to the skies and relive the summer of 1940 with our incredible Spitfire and Buchon dog fight package. We have approval to fly a Chase plane in formation with your Spitfire that up to 5 of your family members and friends can take to the air in to accompany you. They’re not just a chapter on a page-or-2 of paper; they are real people, people you are routing for at every twist-and-turn they make in the skies (and on the ground). The stories are from first-hand accounts from those who flew it during WWII, which means that the book instead provides a primitive history of the spitfire instead of diving too deeply into it.

Coupled with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, it was a perfect flying machine, saving many a pilot out of difficult situations, earning the grudging respect of the enemy.

The pilots’ stories make up the bulk of the book, from ‘The Few’ of the Battle of Britain, to the photo reconnaissance pilots who flew unarmed Spitfires deep into Nazi Germany, and the female ferry pilots who delivered them to squadrons. Have a look at the hundreds of incredible Trip Advisor reviews that we've had that have given us a 5/5 score, and that have earned us Traveller's Choice awards for the past 3 years!

This book then is a paen, a hymn of praise to the aircraft and those who flew it during the Second World War. I met the Spit fire ace Johnnie Johnson at the historic Battle of Britain flight in wood hall Spa and everyone was in awe of this frail gentle old man.It was a aircraft with a personality of its own-docile at times, swift and deadly at others-a fighting machine par excellence.

Spitfire!: The Experiences of a Battle of Britain Fighter Pilot

Who wouldn't be impressed with the gut-wrenching climb performance of the Lightning, almost touching the lower reaches of space, out of howling along in a Hawker Sea Fury? There were some parts where the plane and it's variants were compared to German ME109(variants) and FW190, but I would've liked more and especially to other allied aircraft.People who are so very brave in every way, yet in no way modest at all, in fact they all come across as being exceptionally humble. We meet various workers, men and women who worked at the factories, describing how life was like working in secret without the faintest idea about the scope of the operation.

Pianobook is a community of composers, producers, and music makers connected together through a shared love of music creation. Also the courage and fortitude of the War generation never ceases to impress me, no matter how many times I read about it. Nichol, an ex-RAF man himself, interviewed a number of veterans for this book and it is the tale not so much of the aeroplane but of the men and women who flew and worked on it.Ultimate Warbird Flights are delighted to offer you the chance to experience what it was like for those pilots and take the controls of this legendary fighter for yourself with an unforgettable flight in our very own Supermarine Spitfire. There’s also a short section about the use of Spitfires in the Burma campaign, and another interesting one about the work of the mainly female pilots of the Air Transport Auxiliary, who flew planes from the factories where they were manufactured to their operational airfields.
