Upea kuvatietoteos Spitfire-koneen historiasta, valmistuksesta sotatanterekäyttöön. Must jokaiselle toisen maailman sodan hävittäjäentusiastille.The Spitfire is the iconic aircraft of World War II. It proved itself as an interceptor during the Battle of Britain. By dominating the air space against the attack of the German Luftwaffe, it saved Britain from Nazi invasion, leaving the island free to act as a base for D-Day and the eventual liberation of the Continent. Througout the war, the Spitfire's simple design was repeatedly adapted and still the Spitfire filled the sky above them. I was equally at home over the deserts of North Africa and jungles of Burma, and even saw service in Australia. The naval version, the Seafire, took to the high seas. Flying higher and faster, the Spitfire was still in service in 1955. Spitfire: Britain's Finest Hour takes you through the birth and development of this incredible aircraft and tells the moving stories of the brave young pilots who flew this all-conquering machine.Postikulut 7,60€ v. 2014.
