Many men made their reputations in the frantic struggle over Malta's skies, but perhaps no one more than Canadian Sgt. George ‘Screwball’ Beurling. Arguably, the most naturally gifted Allied fighter pilot of WWII. Beurling shot down no less than 26 confirmed enemy aircraft between July and October 1942. No other allied pilot could claim more victories in such a short period of time
The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries through the Second World War and on into the 1950s as a frontline fighter and in secondary roles. It was produced in greater numbers than any other Allied design.
