Description
Spitire: A Test Pilot's Story is the remarkable autobiography of Jeffrey Quill, a pioneering RAF and Fleet Air Arm pilot who played a pivotal role in the development of the iconic Spitfire aircraft.
Commissioned into the Royal Air Force in 1931, Quill rose through the ranks to become Chief Test Pilot at Supermarine, where he worked closely with R J Mitchell on the design and testing of the Spitfire. With his first-hand experience of combat conditions during the Battle of Britain, Quill helped transform this elegant flying machine into a deadly fighter aeroplane.
This book offers a unique insight into the life and experiences of one of the most important test pilots of World War II, providing a fascinating account of his time in the RAF and Fleet Air Arm, as well as his work on some of the most significant military aircraft of his era.
