SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE 1936~ Owners Workshop Manual

Price per Unit (piece): $49.90

The legendary Supermarine Spitfire receives the famous Haynes manual treatment with the full co-operation and authorisation of the Royal Air Force. Here is a unique perspective on what it takes to own, restore & operate a Spitfire, as well as a wonderful insight into the engineering & construction of this remarkable aeroplane. Presented mainly in colour, this highly detailed & attractively designed book is based around the restoration of the Spitfire Mk XVI at RAF Coningsby. More than 22,000 of these aircraft were built & the the youngest survivor - a Seafire variant - first flew in 1947, making it 61 years old. However, preparing for such longevity was not a consideration for those who designed & built these aircraft. During hard-fought periods of the war a Spitfire had an average life of just a few weeks!!
