Supermarine Spitfire operational history
(詳細はSupermarine Spitfire, the only British fighter to be manufactured before, during and after the Second World War, was designed as a short-range fighter capable of defending Britain from bomber attack〔Price 2002, p. 35.〕 and achieved legendary status fulfilling this role during the Battle of Britain.〔McKinstry 2007, p. 3.〕 According to fighter ace J.E. "Johnnie" Johnson it was the best conventional defensive fighter of the war.〔Sims 1972, p. 89.〕
As the war continued, however, the fighter evolved into a multi-role aircraft capable of operating in different environments.〔McKinstry 2007, p. 6.〕 For example, the Spitfire was a pioneer in the role of the unarmed, photo reconnaissance (P.R) aircraft which relied on high speed and high altitude to avoid detection and avoid attack.〔McKinstry 2007, p. 261.〕
Post-war the Spitfire was to continue to serve as a front line fighter and in secondary roles for several air forces well into the 1950s.〔Price 1991, p. 10.〕 The last offensive sorties made by RAF Spitfires were flown by 60 Squadron Mk XVIIIs over Malaya on 1 January 1951.〔Glancey 2006, pp. 140–141.〕
