Entering service in 1938, it became a symbol of resistance and technological superiority during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, the Spitfire combined speed, agility, and firepower, proving instrumental in securing air superiority over the Luftwaffe. Its design would continue to evolve throughout the war, making it one of the most enduring aircraft in history.
