Spitfire by Jonathan Glancey
First flown in 1936, the Spitfire soon came to symbolize Britain's defiance of Nazi Germany in the summer of 1940. Flown by pilots of many nations, it saw service as far afield as Australia and the Soviet Union. This work is a celebration of a great British invention, of the men and women who flew it, and supported its development.
Jonathan Glancey is well known as the former architecture and design correspondent of the Guardian and Independent newspapers. He is also a steam locomotive enthusiast and pilot. A frequent broadcaster, his books include the bestselling Spitfire: The Biography; Nagaland: A Journey to India's Forgotten Frontier;Tornado: 21st Century Steam; The Story of Architecture and The Train: An Illustrated History.
