Descriptionof Spitfire I. Phoney War and Battle of France
Manufacturer

The "Spitfire" is still considered one of the most famous aeroplanes of the Second World War. Nevertheless, its first skirmishes and battles brought as many challenges as successes. German forces soon surpassed the RAF's pre-war tactics and used the Spitfire's modest endurance to their advantage. This new study offers a gripping account of the celebrated fighter's early encounters with the Luftwaffe in 1939-40, charting the rapid strategic development of Spitfire units from the 'phoney war' to the Battle of France and the evacuation of Dunkirk. Aviation expert Tony Holmes sheds new light on the early exploits of this world-famous aircraft. Enhanced with newly commissioned maps, tape diagrams and colour artwork, as well as a wealth of archive photographs, this fascinating exploration offers a deep insight into the early years of the Spitfire.
