This isn't a book you want to drop on your foot! In truth, it would have been better to publish 2 volumes. There's so much in it, many illustrations, diagrams and photographs are compromised to get it all between two covers. Nevertheless you aren't going to get another book about the Spitfire with more information in it. The general layout is rather dated now but the content is comprehensive. Any other book on the subject is a waste of paper.

This book is an unbelievable amount of work by the author’s and the time trawling through ministry , company records etc is mind blowing. I take my hat off to them . If you can find this book to buy and you want a book about everything about a spitfire then this is it

This is the definitive history of one of, if not the most iconic fighter of World War 2, and my personal favourite. I found it full of details relating to development of the prototype, further development as the war progressed, and the production history of all marks. I have been looking for this book for many years, and if you want to know all about this classic aircraft, I think you won't go far wrong with this

This is a technical directory and pure reference book and as such is excellent. It is not a 'ripping yarn' or even measured narrative of the development of the Spitfire in basic layman's terms. There are many other books out there that offer these things, but this is a book for the specialist. Judged within those parameters, it is definitive.

This book is said to be the definitive history of the Spitfire and who could disagree. At 630 pages it is not for the casual reader as it contains a staggering amount of data. That said I have read the early chapters on the birth of the Spitfire and it is not difficult reading. It has many drawings and photographs as well as coded lists giving the history of each aeroplane.
