How to Build a Spitfire - David Price - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

How to Build a Spitfire - David Price - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A unique homage to the fighter aircraft that won the Battle of Britain, marrying the story of how the author built a replica Spitfire in his garden with the plane''s operational history. In April 2018 David Price, dedicated aviation museum volunteer and author of THE CREW and MOSQUITO MEN, decided to build a Spitfire replica in his back garden. In How to Build a Spitfire he juxtaposes the story of the ups and down of his own ambitious project to recreate an icon of British aviation with a narrative of the development of the Spitfire itself, focusing in particular on the construction and production of the aircraft and its various component parts (including the Merlin engine), amplified by the testimonies of some of those who worked in the Supermarine factory in Southampton and in other Spitfire production facilities. Bringing together the sometimes light-hearted tale of a personal quest, enthusiastically pursued, with an accessible but authoritative account of the technical workings of a war-winning weapon, and the stories of some of the men who flew it, How to Build a Spitfire is a distinctive and affectionate homage to an enduring symbol of British engineering genius and national resilience.

The Silver Spitfire - Tom Neil - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

The Silver Spitfire - Tom Neil - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

A brilliantly vivid Second World War memoir by one of ''the Few'' Spitfire fighter pilots. Following the D-Day landings, Battle of Britain hero Tom Neil was assigned as an RAF liaison to an American fighter squadron. As the Allies pushed east, Neil commandeered an abandoned Spitfire as his own personal aeroplane. Erasing any evidence of its provenance and stripping it down to bare metal, it became the RAF''s only silver Spitfire. Alongside his US comrades, he took the silver Spitfire into battle until, with the war''s end, he was forced to make a difficult decision. Faced with too many questions about the mysterious rogue fighter, he contemplated increasingly desperate measures to offload it, including bailing out mid-Channel. He eventually left the Spitfire at Worthy Down, never to be seen again.THE SILVER SPITFIRE is the first-hand, gripping story of Neil''s heroic experience as an RAF fighter pilot and his reminiscences with his very own personal Spitfire.

Spitfire: Pilots' Stories - Dr Alfred Price - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Spitfire: Pilots' Stories - Dr Alfred Price - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The adventures of some sixty pilots and ground crewmen who flew or worked on the Spitfire during the Second World War. The Spitfire was perhaps the most successful fighter design of all time. It remained at the forefront of its genre from the biplane era until well into the jet age, a period including the Second World War, which saw a faster rate of technological advance than in any comparable period in history. Yet the Spitfire was more than just a superb flying machine. During the war it carved a unique place in the psyche of the British people, and many believe it played a major part in saving the nation from defeat during the grim days of 1940. When Spitfire at War first appeared in 1974 it enjoyed critical acclaim as one of the first detailed accounts of a much-loved plane. It was followed by two further volumes, all three of which were hailed as classic works on the subject. In Spitfire: Pilot’s Stories , Dr Alfred Price condensed his three acclaimed books into one, bringing the story together in the form of many pilots’ memories and recollections of flying this iconic aircraft. This gripping collection of pilots’ stories and evocative photographs reveals what it was like to fly the world’s most famous aircraft, undoubtedly the finest fighter of the Second World War.

Spitfire - Leo Mckinstry - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Spitfire - Leo Mckinstry - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

In June 1940, the German Army had brought the rest of Europe to its knees. ''Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world will move forward into broad, sunlit uplands,'' said Churchill. The future of Europe depended on Britain. A self-confident Herman Göring thought that it would be only a matter of weeks before his planes had forced Britain to surrender. The courage, resourcefulness and brilliant organisation of the RAF were to prove him wrong. By late September 1940, the RAF had proved invincible, thanks to the Vickers Supermarine Spitfire. It exceeded anything that any other air force possessed. RJ Mitchell, a shy and almost painfully modest engineer, was the genius behind the Spitfire. On the 5th March 1936, following its successful maiden flight, a legend was born. Prize-winning historian Leo McKinstry''s vivid history of the Spitfire brings together a rich cast of characters and first hand testimonies. It is a tale full of drama and heroism, of glory and tragedy, with the main protagonist the remarkable plane that played a crucial role in saving Britain.
