British Spitfire

The British Spitfire was the primary fighter of the RAF during world war two. It was used extensively during the battle of Britain. The spitfire was technically out matched by the superior German Me 109. My guess as to why the spitfire was so effective against the Me 109s was partly do to the use of radar, and that the spitfires could stay in the air much longer that their German counterparts. The Spitfire would remain in service thought the war although some of its operations were given to the new P-51 mustang.
