Circa 1982 by Barrie A. F. Clark,
'Spitfire' depicts the Spitfire amidst bomb-blasted smoke. The artwork symbolizes victory against overwhelming odds. The Spitfire, a formidable fighter piloted by England's Royal Air Force during World War II's Battle of Britain, played a crucial role in the defeat of Hitler's forces. Although the exact origin of the depicted aircraft is uncertain,
In the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire gained significant public recognition as the face of the RAF fighter, despite the Hawker Hurricane carrying a larger burden against the Luftwaffe. However, the Spitfire units boasted a lower attrition rate and a higher victory-to-loss ratio compared to those flying Hurricanes.
The Spitfire served as the backbone of the RAF Fighter Command, showcasing its prowess in various theaters of war, including Europe, the Mediterranean, the Pacific, and South-East Asia. Adored by its pilots, this versatile aircraft took on multiple roles such as interceptor, photo-reconnaissance, fighter-bomber, carrier-based fighter, and trainer. Its design allowed for adaptation, accommodating increasingly powerful engines such as the Rolls-Royce Merlin and later the Rolls-Royce Griffon, generating up to 2,035 Horse Power.
