Evening Glory (Spitfire) - Battle of Britain – 1940
by Philip E. West
Without doubt the most famous British fighter aircraft. It always inspired devotion from pilots and mechanics alike – to this very day.
Flight Lt. Geoff Wellum in his 92 Sqn. Spitfire, during an all-too rare quiet moment, one evening during the summer of 1940 – the height of the Battle of Britain.
The aircraft that inspired devotion from pilots and mechanics alike, and such statements as “she really was the perfect flying machine; she hadn’t got a vice at all”, was also admired by those on the ground. In propaganda posters and illustrations, the Spitfire represented Britain’s defiance and commitment to ultimate victory.
