Details

About the 601st Squadron:
The 601 Squadron of the RAF was equipped with Spitfires in March of 1942, shortly before it shipped out to the Middle East. This squadron was based in Malta, then North Africa, on to Sicily and finally to Italy as they supported the advance of the Allied armies.

About the Spitfire Mk V:
The Mk. V was nothing more than a Mk. II with the newer Merlin 45 series engine. This engine delivered slightly more takeoff power at 1,440 hp (1074 kW), but greatly increased the power available at higher altitudes due to a new two-speed supercharger design. While it was no Mk. IV, the Mk. V was able to hold its own with the 109Fs it was meeting.
