HMH Publications C001 Classic Aircraft in Detail: Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX and Mk.XVI (116 pages, English)

Is there a sound more beautiful than the Merlin engine of a Spitfire when it flies by full throttle. This is one of the most iconic aircraft of the Second World War and the first book in our Classic series. In 116 pages, we bring you a detailed look at the Mk.IX and it's Packard engined stable mate, the Mk.XVI. With this book, we support the Dutch Historic Flight at Gilze Rijen, which operates many historic aircraft, two of which are Spitfires. This book shows the entire aircraft, from cockpit to engine and from landing gear to tail fin.
