80th anniversary of the Spitfire's finest hour.

Posted by Bob Taylor on September 15, 2020, 3:57 pm

In 1943 I joined the British Naval Air Service at 17 1/2.
I spent my first 4 months at an RAF centre learning
about the engine of the Spitfire.
Then I spent 1944 on a Spitfire squadron in the south
of England where I had the job checking planes before
take off.
Near the end of that year I was posted to an aircraft
carrier on which I spent almost a year in the South Pacific.

What a plane that was, and what a great job you did when the world was on trial. I hope you see this so you can know someone said "Thank you." Aces High, Mr. Taylor.
