The iconic Spitfire found fame during the darkest early days of World War II. But what happened to the redoubtable fighter & its crews beyond the Battle of Britain, & why is it still so loved today?

In late spring 1940, Nazi Germany’s domination of Europe had looked unstoppable. With the British Isles in easy reach since the fall of France, Adolf Hitler was convinced that Great Britain would be defeated in the skies over her southern coast, confident his Messerschmitts & Heinkels would outclass anything the Royal Air Force threw at them.

What Hitler hadn’t planned for was the agility & resilience of a marvel of British engineering that would quickly pass into legend – the Spitfire.

Bestselling author John Nichol’s passionate portrait of this magnificent fighter aircraft, its many innovations & updates, & the people who flew & loved them, carries the reader beyond the dogfights over Kent & Sussex.

Spanning the full global reach of the Spitfire’s deployment during WWII, from Malta to North Africa & the Far East, then over the D-Day beaches, it is always accessible, effortlessly entertaining & full of extraordinary spirit.

Top-class pilots were crucial to the survival of Great Britain during the dark days of the Blitz, & playing a vital role in fending off the German attack was the women's section of the Air Transport Auxiliary, a close & dedicated circle of female pilots. In the midst of events that would shape history, these women risked their lives to ferry aircraft day & night from factory to the arena of war, & lasting friendships were born. Together, Edith Allam & her fellow pilots faced Nazi terror, class prejudice, & the forbidden romances of wartime
- yet their remarkable strength carried them through. Spitfire Girls evokes all the drama of this extraordinary period of history, & is a tribute to the heroism of these brave women, without whom the Battle of Britain might never have been won.

Books History Books The story of the unsung heroines who flew the newest, fastest, aeroplanes in World War II – mostly in southern England where the RAF was desperately short of pilots. Why would the well-bred daughter of a New England factory-owner brave the U-boat blockades of the North Atlantic in the bitter winter of 1941? What made a South African diamond heiress give up her life of house parties & London balls to spend the war in a freezing barracks on the Solent? & why did young Margaret Frost start lying to her father during the Battle of Britain? They – & scores of other women – weren't allowed to fly in combat, but what they did was nearly as dangerous. Unarmed & without instruments or radios, they delivered planes for the Air Transport Auxiliary to the RAF bases from which male pilots flew into battle. At the mercy of the weather & any long-range enemy aircraft that pounced on them, fifteen of these women died, among them Amy Johnson, Britain's most famous flyer. But the survivors shared four unrepeatable years of life, adrenaline & love. The story of this 'tough bunch of babes' (in the words of one of them) has never been told properly before. The author has travelled to four continents to interview all the surviving women pilots, who came not just from the shires of Engl&, but also from the U.S.A, Chile, Australia, Poland & Argentina. Paid £ 6 a week, they flew up to 16 hours a day in 140 different types of aircraft, though most of them liked Spitfires the best.
