Historical and Technical Information

The Supermarine Spitfire is the most famous British fighter aircraft of World War II, intensively used by the Royal Air Force and Allied air forces between 1938 and 1950. The Spitfire took part, among others, in the Battle of Britain, the African campaign, and operations in Western Europe. An essential part of the aircraft's equipment was the onboard radio system – it enabled communication with the base and other aircraft in formation, directly affecting combat effectiveness.
