    Spitfire cruising settings

    Hi all, Its been a while, but I'm back after being insanely busy with work for about 12 months. While I've got a little more spare time, I'm working on a long-ish piece on the realistic(-ish) possibilities for a long-range Spitfire emerging in 1941-1942. With that in mind, does anyone...

    What is the real reason the Spitfire 5 had single speed Merlins

    P-29 or Spitfire wreck?

    Sorry about the error in the title: It should say P-39! I found this s picture when researching the U.S.Army in the North African Campaign. It was listed as a P-38 wreck but I think it is a P-39 Airacobra. I wondered if it is a Spitfire wreck but I'm leaning towards a P-39. It doesn't look...
