The Supermarine Spitfire was one of the most successful aircraft lines in the world, with over 20,000 produced in 24 makes and many sub-variants. One of the most famous British aircraft of the Second World War, its characteristic thin, elliptical wings allowed it to achieve a higher aerodynamic maximum speed than most of its contemporaries, while its adaptable airframe allowed for continuous improvements to the basic design until the 1950s.
