  • 'THE' Spitfire Manual

    This is a reprint of the full 1940 manual for this iconic aircraft, exactly what would have been studied by the pilots themselves. Exactly what "The Few" would have read! Not as weighty as the original manual, so easy to read anywhere. Recommended reading for the WW2 RAF enthusiast or as a great example of social history. I just wish there was a Spitfire nearby. "Chocks away!"
