The Spitfire is one of the most charismatic aircraft ever to fly. In telling the story of this legendary machine, the producers have filmed many different Marks in flight and on the ground.

The programme includes a wealth of archive documenting the Spitfire's earliest flights to the final stages of its development.

The Spitfire is also shown in action during some of its most memorable campaigns including the momentous Battle of Britain.

Willi Messerschmitt was responsible for designing two of the most significant aircraft of the Second World War: the BF109 and the ME262.
