Spitfire

New Zealand's association with the Spitfire began with two Kiwi pilot test-flying the plane's prototype, was cemented during the Second World War, and continues to the present day with Spitfires preserved in this country. Spitfire: The New Zealand Story is the definitive record of that long and valorous history. Richly illustrated with maps, diagrams, and hundreds of photos (many never before published), Spitfire: The New Zealand Story is a fitting testimonial to the men and women who sacrificed their lives defending their country in the indomitable Spitfire.
