Spitfire WWII Fighter Planes are Restored in New Zealand
« on: July 10, 2014, 08:19:34 AM »
  The Spitfire was hugely popular in many Allied countries during and after WWII, and there were eventually 24 marks of the plane and numerous sub-variants in use up until it was retired in 1955 as new jet engines phased out propeller-powered aircraft.

  For most people the sky is the limit.  For a pilot the sky is home.
