The Spitfire was an excellent air fighter, capable of sweeping inside the enemy with great effect over southern England and the English Channel during the Battle of Britain. The Spitfire Mark I is considered a symbol of the "few," indispensable in the defense of Great Britain against the previously all-powerful Luftwaffe. Along with the Hurricane, it secured its place in history during the Battle of Britain and remains a highly sought-after fighter jet at air shows to this day.
