“If the present rate of wastage continues
for another fortnight, we shall not have a single Hurricane left in

Most people, when asked about a famous British aircraft of World War II, almost immediately remember the Supermarine Spitfire. This plane, from the original prototype to the final variant, has achieved a mythological status in modern times.
