Supermarine Spitfire
The Supermarine Spitfire was a British fighter aircraft that served primarily during World War II. It first flew in March 1936 and became a symbol of British determination in the fight against Nazi Germany during the war. The Spitfire was designed by R. J. Mitchell of the Supermarine Aviation Works. The aircraft had a sleek and aerodynamic design and was equipped with a powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine that allowed it to achieve high speeds and agility. The Spitfire was equipped with two guns and four machine guns, allowing it to effectively engage enemy aircraft. During the war, the Spitfire was deployed in many combat operations, including the Battle of Britain, where it played a key role in defending against German attacks. The Spitfire was also deployed in Africa, the Middle East and the Pacific. In total, more than 20,000 Spitfires were produced in various versions, serving not only in the British Air Force but also in the air forces of Allied countries. Today, the Spitfire is still a favourite aircraft amongst aviation enthusiasts and several examples are still in flying condition, flying at air shows around the world.

The 312th Czechoslovak Fighter Squadron was founded in 1940 as part of the RAF, when many Czechoslovak airmen who had fled their homeland after the Nazi occupation enlisted.
