The Spitfire Mk.XIV was developed
V
to improve on the high altitude
performance of the Spitfire Mk.XII
he
by using the new 65-series twin-
stage supercharged Rolls Royce
ed
Griffon engine. As the airframe
was developed, more and more
modifications were made such
re
as the cutback fuselage, bubble
selage,
canopy and the ‘E’ wing which
E’
featured clipped wingtips and
an improved armament. To many
ament.
this was the ultimate Spitfire. A
ate
powerful brute of a machine that
could climb at over 5,000ft per
er
minute and achieve a top speed of
ve
446mph (718kph). While operational
h).
pilots often found the new machine to
be somewhat tricky to handle,
ky
once mastered it proved
to be a tremendous
us
fighting machine, able to
compete on equal terms with almost
l
anything the Luftwaffe had to offer.
