Historical background and examples of use

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk IXc was developed in response to the appearance of the formidable German Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighter. From mid-1942, the Mk IXc became the RAF’s main weapon until the end of the war, distinguishing itself especially during battles over Normandy and the English Channel. It was also used by the air forces of Canada, Poland, the USA, the USSR, and France. The late series specimens had aerodynamic improvements, reinforced armament, and upgraded avionics, making them one of the best Allied fighters of the World War II era.
