The Submarine Spitfire
The British Hurricane fighter was fast; but, the British Submarine Spitfire was faster. The Spitfire was the only British plane that could deal with German fighters. The Spitfire was remarkable. It was easy to control and very, very fast. The top speed was 380 MPH. It carried two 20mm cannons and two 12.7mm machine guns. It was in service primarily from 1936 to 1945, and officially ended service in 1954. Over 1,500 were built from 1936-1945. The Spitfire was feared by many German Pilots, and it was an amazing, beautiful aircraft!
