This aircraft depicts the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb/Trop, flown by Sqn/Ldr Joseph Lynch, OC, No.249 Squadron, Krendi, Malta April, 1943. Lynch was an American veteran of the "Eagle Squadron." By the end of the war his score stood at 10 and 7 shared destroyed, 1 probably destroyed and 1 shared damaged, all with Mk Vs. Based on original skins by Flying Sheep and FreddyB and the 3DZ modifications of Captain Kurt. (SPIT 9 Slot)

Please Note: The following two skins are based on the magnificent work of Flying Sheep and are posted here with his gracious consent. He creates his skins from a 3dz2bmp. One can only imagine how much work he puts into his creations but the end product certainly justifies the effort! I did a few changes to his work to create these variations. They are subtle so you might have to hunt for them. Other than that these files are basically the same as those Flying Sheep originally posted. They also feature the modified 3dz file by Stewart Wilson, further edited by Flying Sheep as well as Migge's cockpit gauges.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb

This skin represents aircraft Serial No.EP340/T-M (T-M codes used for replacing destroyed aircraft). It was flown by Flag Officer John McElroy (RAF) of No.249 Squadron, Takali, during October 1942. It was probably delivered with the 30 Spitfires flown to Malta from HMS Eagle during July, 1942. It was destroyed by Unteroffizier Marian Mazurek of the I./JG 53 Expertan, on October 15 1943 (his 30th victim). Australian F/Sgt Edwin Hiskens, was killed. Two days prior, Canadian Ace, John McElroy, with only 7 other aircraft, engaged a 79-strong fighter and bomber force sent to the Island (the fourth wave of that day). Five enemy fighters and two bombers were claimed with McElroy being credited with the destruction of a Re-2001 and a Bf-109 damaged. McElroy returned to the UK in December, 1942. His final score was 10 and 3 shared destroyed, 1 and 1 shared probables and 12 damaged. In 1948/49 he added an Egyptian C205V and 2 RAF Spitfire FR Mk.18s to his tally, whilst flying an Israeli Spitfire Mk.IX. New 3DZ by Captain Kurt and tweaked by Redeyes. (SPIT 1 Slot)

Please Note: As many know, the following skins are based on one of my favorites. James Yoon did the original work. At my request, Jamie Richards reworked Yoon's art into the "AX W" Mk VIII. I have tinkered with it considerably. New, correct, landing gear by STAG and many skin details cleaned up by me. I have liberally stolen from so many to upgrade this that I can't even recall. Certainly the art of Mosi, Flying Sheep, and E, at least, are also represented in my reworking (and several variations) of the Yoon-Richards classic. The latest upgrades were done in September, 2001. Even with all the great new skins and models; this one remains one of my all time favorite.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VIII

This scheme represents the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VIII of Major Henry Gaynor, No 1 Sqn SAAF, operating in Italy during December 1943. The original skin was created by Jamie Richards from James Yoon's model. I have made some minor alterations to the model, including the introduction of Stag's landing gear. (SPIT 9 Slot)

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX

I saw a photograph of a No.302 (RAF) Squadron (Polish) aircraft taken at Vendeville airfield in France, during the summer of 1944. There were many Polish aces in this squadron, but they failed to score any kills during 1944, because they were primarily employed on ground attack duties. This particular Spitfire Mk.IX was flown by Gp/Cpt. Aleksander Gabszewicz (8 confirmed and 3 shared kills, 1 and 1 shared probable kills, and 3 damaged). It was also flown by F/Lt. Grzegorz Sologub (5 kills confirmed and 1 shared kill). The Polish pilots were second to none. (SPIT 9 Slot)

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX

I wanted to make an aircraft skin of the Spitfire Mk.IX which was appropriate for the European Theater of operations. I also wanted the skin to be reversible, therefore the squadron codes depicted are "fictional". However, the Mk.IX Spitfires of No.332 Squadron (RAF), which were based at North Weald during 1943, did use the AH code. No doubt there was an AHA. (SPIT 9 Slot)

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc

This aircraft skin was inspired by a photograph found in the "Warbird History Book: SPITFIRE". The caption below the photograph reads as follows: One of the first aircraft to land at Alto Airfield, Corsica, in April 1944, was this No.154 Squadron (RAF) Spitfire Mk.IXc. Alto was a critical forward operating base, later well used by 57th Fighter Group Thunderbolts in keeping the Allied push going into Italy. (SPIT 9 Slot)

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI

This aircraft skin is "fictional" and was created using the 3dz model by STAG. The Spitfire Mk.XVI was nearly the same aircraft as the Spitfire Mk.IX. This version represents a later type with a "bubble" canopy and pointed tail. (SPIT 9 Slot)

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX

This skin depicts an Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX with allied invasion stripes. The skin is based on a Spitfire HF. Mk.VI flown by No.616 "South Yorkshire" squadron, RAF. (SPIT 9 Slot)
