Abstract
A beautifully designed book with pull-outs in the style of BRUNEL: THE MAN WHO BUILT THE WORLD, telling the inside story of an icon with a special place in the affections of a nation.
"Spitfire: Icon of a Nation tells the story of an extraordinary aeroplane through the work and experience of those who designed it, built it, flew it, serviced, armed and repaired it in war, and have preserved it since. The book explores their enduring affection and admiration for the Spitfire through its history as a fighting machine and how that bond gave the most famous aircraft in the world a unique and lasting place in British national life."--BOOK JACKET.
