    I admit I have never read this book but I can tell you this. I would not base my option on just one book. Especially one that bases itself on a legend such as the spitfire. You might be suprised what you find out if you research the complete history and just the begining of the aircraft. As evengilder pointed out. This aircraft continued to fly after WWII in British service. If it was a bad aircraft Im sure they would have retired it long before that.

    And the author of these is??? I decided to humor you and look up those titles. None of those titles show up on Amazon.com.

    It is common knowledge that the Spitfire was born out of another Reginald Mitchell design that was a MONOPLANE. The engine in the prototype was a Rolls Royce PV-12, which would later become the Merlin, not an American engine as you stated before.
