Spitfire by Jonathan Glancey

Spitfire: The Illustrated Biography is quite simply the most beautiful book of its kind. It is a soaring celebration of a great British invention, of the men and women who flew it and supported its development, and of the industry that manufactured both the aircraft and the Rolls-Royce engines that powered them.
