Books History Books Despite the many films & television programmes over the decades since the end of the Second World War that portrays our allied heroes as grown-up men & women, the Battle of Britain was in the main actually fought & won by teenagers. The average age of an RAF fighter pilot was just twenty years old. Many of the men & women who designed & built their planes were even younger. Based on the hit BBC World Service podcast Spitfire: The People's Story, we use contemporary diaries & memoirs, many of them previously unpublished, to tell the story of the Spitfire through the voices of the teenagers who risked everything to design, build & fly her. This isn't a story of stiff-upper lips, stoical moustaches & aerial heroics; it's a story of love & loss, a story of young people tested to the very limits of their endurance. Young people who won a battle that turned a war.

Product Description

The Spitfire is the world's most iconic aeroplane. Coming into its own during the Battle of Britain, it became famous during the Second World War as the only plane that could match the enemy fighters in the sky.

Yet, even today, the history of the Spitfire contains many hitherto hidden or little-known stories of the men & women behind the plane; not only the gifted creators & inventors who brought the Spitfire to life, or the brave fighter pilots from many countries who triumphed in battle, but also the thousands of other people whose lives were affected by their personal connection to it
- engineers, ground crew, factory or office workers, & their families.

The Spitfire Story recounts the memories & stories of these people, from the birth of the iconic Spitfire in the 1930s to the present day.
