Book Description
When one thinks of the Spitfire, visions of dogfights in the Battle of Britain spring to mind. Very little has appeared on the elite photo-reconnaissance (PR) machines that criss-crossed occupied Europe at various altitudes with only their speed and stealth as a defence. Spitfire in Blue helps to rectify this imbalance through tracing the history of one single Spitfire - Mk XI PL965. A wartime veteran of dozens of dangerous missions with NO 16 squadron during the last year of the war, this machine has survived into the 1990s to be the only air worthy example of a Mk XI in the world today.
