Historical Information

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX is one of the most well-known versions of the legendary British fighters, used by the Royal Air Force and Allies from 1942–1945 during WWII. The external fuel tank, known as the "slipper tank," was standard equipment for aircraft intended for long-range escort flights or operations over occupied Europe. It enabled the fighter to extend its range to over 1,500 km, which was crucial during the support of Allied operations, for example, during the Normandy landings in 1944.
