Supermarine Spitfire variants powered by early model Rolls-Royce Merlin engines mostly utilised single-speed, single-stage superchargers. The British Supermarine Spitfire was the only Allied fighter aircraft of the Second World War to fight in front line service from the beginnings of the conflict, in September 1939, through to the end in August 1945. Post-war, the Spitfire's service career continued into the 1950s. The basic airframe proved to be extremely adaptable, capable of taking far more powerful engines and far greater loads than its original role as a short-range interceptor had called for. This would lead to 19 marks of Spitfire and 52 sub-variants being produced throughout the Second World War, and beyond. The many changes were made in order to fulfil Royal Air Force requirement

  • Die Supermarine Spitfire war ein britischer Abfangjäger. Informationen zur Spitfire selbst sind auf der Seite Supermarine Spitfire zu finden. Insgesamt gab es 24 Hauptversionen und viele Untervarianten. Dieser Artikel stellt eine kurze Historie dar. Die letzten, hier noch nicht beschriebenen Baureihen hatten unter anderem stärkere Motoren vom Typ Rolls-Royce Griffon sowie längere Fahrwerkfederbeine. Die letzte Version F. 24 flog Ende der 1940er-Jahre unter anderem bei der RAF Germany und während des Koreakrieges bei der No. 80 Squadron in Hongkong. Die Maschine flog dort jedoch keine Kampfeinsätze mehr. (de)
