The Spitfire Mk V was the workhorse of the wartime marks, being flown in combat across the globe. It was the first of its type to be built in sufficient numbers to allow it to serve in the Far East, Australia, North Africa and Russia. A robust machine, it was often outclassed by the Luftwaffe's Fw 190. Nevertheless, pilots of the calibre of Malan, Tuck, Johnson, Beurling, Caldwell and Duke all enjoyed success with the Mk V and are described in the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\/Stop-Gap Spitfire Variant\/Improving the Breed\/In Action over North-West Europe\/Air Battle for Malta\/Spitfire Vs Far and Wide\/Top Spitfire Mark V Aces\/Appendices","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51020746948951,"sku":"9781855326354","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781855326354.jpg?v=1750784276","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/spitfire-mark-v-aces-1941-45-9781855326354","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
