The British Spitfire fighter plane – one of the “flying legends” of the Second World War. The Spitfire Mk.IX modification was developed in 1942 with the installation of the more powerful engine based on the Mk.V.

This aircraft was reliable and easy to operate and had excellent flight characteristics. The Mk.IX was used in many roles in the European theater of World War II - as a general purpose (F), low-altitude (LF) and high-altitude (HF) fighter, as well as a fighter-bomber.

Spitfire Mk.IX were in service with the RAF, the USAAF, the air forces of the USSR, France, Italy, Czechoslovakia and some other countries.
