Using footage of restored aircraft, this DVD looks at the Spitfire as a machine that was developed over it's twelve year career to the point that the last marks were more than twice as powerful as Mitchell's original design. But the programme also looks at the Spitfire as a fighting aeroplane and the many roles and armed services in which it performed - over a thousand were delivered to the Soviet Air Force as well as the US Army Air Force.
By the end of its career, more than 22,000 Spitfires had been built. This programme features restorers, operators and pilots to find out what it is that makes the Spitfire legend so enduring.
