Supermarine Spitfire
Supermarine Spitfire Mk. VI, RCAF (Serial No. X4492), in flight, 26 Feb 1944.
The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was used by the Royal Air Force and other Allied countries before, during, and after World War II. Many variants of the Spitfire were built, using several wing configurations, and it was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft. It was also the only British fighter produced continuously throughout the war. The Spitfire continues to be popular among enthusiasts; around 70 remain airworthy, and many more are static exhibits in aviation museums throughout the world.
The Spitfire was designed as a short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft by R. J. Mitchell, chief designer at Supermarine Aviation Works, which operated as a subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrong from 1928. Mitchell pushed the Spitfire's distinctive elliptical wing with cutting-edge sunken rivets (designed by Beverley Shenstone) to have the thinnest possible cross-section, helping give the aircraft a higher top speed than several contemporary fighters, including the Hawker Hurricane.
The Spitfire had detachable wing tips which were secured by two mounting points at the end of each main wing assembly. When the Spitfire took on a role as a high-altitude fighter (Marks VI and VII and some early Mk VIIIs), the standard wing tips were replaced by extended, "pointed" tips which increased the wingspan from 36 ft 10 in (11.23 m) to 40 ft 2 in (12.24 m). The other wing-tip variation, used by several Spitfire variants, was the "clipped" wing; the standard wing tips were replaced by wooden fairings which reduced the span by 3 ft 6 in (1.07 m). The wing tips used spruce formers for most of the internal structure with a light alloy skin attached using brass screws.
Due to a shortage of Brownings, which had been selected as the new standard rifle calibre machine gun for the RAF in 1934, early Spitfires were fitted with only four guns, with the other four fitted later. Early tests showed that, while the guns worked perfectly on the ground and at low altitudes, they tended to freeze at high altitude, especially the outer wing guns, because the RAF's Brownings had been modified to fire from an open bolt. While this prevented overheating of the cordite used in British ammunition, it allowed cold air to flow through the barrel unhindered. Supermarine did not fix the problem until October 1938, when they added hot air ducts from the rear of the wing-mounted radiators to the guns, and bulkheads around the gunbays to trap the hot air in the wing. Red fabric patches were doped over the gun ports to protect the guns from cold, dirt, and moisture until they were fired.
The first Rolls-Royce Griffon-engined Mk XII flew in August 1942, and first flew operationally with 41 Squadron in April 1943. This mark could nudge 400 mph (640 km/h) in level flight and climb to an altitude of 33,000 ft (10,000 m) in under nine minutes. As American fighters took over the long-range escorting of USAAF daylight bombing raids, the Griffon-engined Spitfires progressively took up the tactical air superiority role, and played a major role in intercepting V-1 flying bombs, while the Merlin-engined variants (mainly the Mk IX and the Packard-engined Mk XVI) were adapted to the fighter-bomber role. Although the later Griffon-engined marks lost some of the favourable handling characteristics of their Merlin-powered predecessors, they could still outmanoeuvre their main German foes and other, later American and British-designed fighters.Wikipedia

416 (F) Sqn (RCAF) RCAF Digby
416 City of Oshawa Squadron (Ad solturn paratus) RCAF Digby. Flying Officer Norman Alexander Watt (RCAF) was killed in action when his Spitfire Vb aircraft BL 655 spun out of the clouds and crashed in a wheat field six miles south-east of RCAF Station, Digby, England. The wreckage of this fighter was re-located and excavated by aviation enthusiasts in August of 1989 buried nine feet in the mud, a presentation aircraft sponsored by the British Patriotic Fund in Argentina and a portion is now on display in a museum in England.Flying Officer Watt had been slightly injured on March 28, 1943 when a Miles Master aircraft, from 61 OTU, had engine failure and crashed on take-off from the Rednal aerodrome, England. Flying Officer Pilot Watt is buried in the Scopwick Church Burial Grouns, Scopwick, Lincolnshire, England. Addendum: - Flying Officer Watt had taken off from Digby with two other pilots from 416 squadron on a routine training flight. As the three aircraft were in a tail chase, Pilot Officer Phillips and Sgt. J L A Cahlot lost sight of Watt, spotting his aircraft later in an inverted dive from which it did not recover before plunging into the soft ground of the Lincolnshire fen. The remains of BL 655 are displayed at the East Kirkby Aviation Museum, they will stand as a memorial to a young Canadian pilot who gave his life in the service of his King and Country at the age of twenty-one.

401 Ram (City of Westmount) Squadron RCAF (Mors celerima hostibus) RAF Biggin Hill. Flight Lieutenant Donald Robert Morrison DFM DFC (RCAF) took off in Spitfire IX BS 202 as part of Circus 235, escorting American B-17 Flying Fortress's on a bombing raid against a steel works just outside Lyon, France. On the return flight, his aircraft was attacked by German fighters and shot down, most likely by a Focke-Wulf 190 near Calais, France. His left leg was struck by a cannon shell and so badly damaged that had to be amputated below the knee by German doctors in Hospital at St Omer, France. Moved to several different hospitals afterwards for treatment, Flight Lieutenant Morrison was eventually sent to Stalag Luft 3 and was one of 11 RCAF prisoners included in the first Repatriation of Prisoners of War, in which sick and injured Allied PoWs were exchanged for German PoWs, leaving Stalag Luft 3, Sagen, October 25, 1943. Taken first to Sweden by train, then by ship to Scotland, before finally being put aboard a Hospital Ship and returning to Canada in November 1943. He later became an instructor at #20 Elementary Flaying Training School and left RCAF service 1945-03-14

Fighter Sweep. In HARDELOT, swept under Appledore control, BETHUNE-AMIENS-ROYE-area, at 20,000 to 22,000 ft. 421 bounced 25+ a/c passing beneath wing. Full wing engaged combats intermingled all in the vicinity of ROYE/AMY a/d between 7,000 and 15,000 ft. 9 pilots of wing fired on at least 15 a/c. Seven aircraft were seen to crash and two parachutes to open. several other aircraft were going down and are believed to have crashed. Enemy casualties inflicted by 421 squadron - Pilot Officer Hicks, 1 FW 190 destroyed - Pilot Officer Packard 1 FW 190 destroyed - Pilot Officer Linton and Flying Officer Cook 1 FW 190 destroyed (shared). Our casualties - Flying Officer Cook missing - heard over R/T to say "baling out"
HERE FOLLOWS THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS OF Flight Lieutenant COOK'S ACCOUNT OF THIS MISSION
"I don't remember much of the dogfight only that it was a good one. Never underestimate the fighting ability of the German fighter boys, they were good. I was flying number two to my good friend Karl Linton when we engaged a good number of FW 190's. Karl and I shared one. I remember we were jumped by two coming in at five o'clock and a little above us. I saw the number one firing but the tracers were going behind us and he was a little out of range. I waited until he was within a good range then called a break to starboard which meant we would tum into them and perhaps get on their tails. We swung around and I put old AUV through the gate; this was called pushing the "tit". All of a sudden I had very little power. I quickly scanned the instrument panel and noticed my oil pressure dropping. I tried to keep up with Karl but found it impossible.
Soon I was streaming glycol and going nowhere but down. I called up my CO who was Squadron Leader Buck McNair and told him of my predicament. I said that I was going to try for the Channel and bale out. He asked if I needed an escort and I said that I thought that I could make it on my own. I checked the outside of the aircraft and could see that there was a great deal of oil on the cowling on the port side of the engine. I was also making quite a trail of white glycol smoke. I was awakened suddenly from my inspection by black puffs of smoke around me. Flak. I looked down and noticed aerodromes. I also noticed that I was lower than I thought I should be. I figured that I was between Poix and Couty. If that were the case then I had better forget the Channel

Clarke, USAAF, attached to this unit, when shot down by Fw 190s near Abbeville-Calais on 27 July 1942. Recently found photos taken in France, and reviewed and confirmed by Lt. General Clark before his death, confirm that he was in Spitfire BL964 when taken prisoner.

412 Squadron (Promptus ad Vindictum) RAF Redhill. Wing Commander G C Keefer DSO and Bar, DFC and Bar (RCAF) was leading a Rodeo sweep over northern France, flying Spitfire Vb aircraft EN 784 when his aircraft developed a glycol leak causing the engine to seize in flight. Keefer turned for home and glided as far as he could before finally abandoning his Spitfire over the English Channel. Climbing into his dinghy Keefer realized he was within eyesight of buildings on shore, far too close to shore and occupied enemy territory. Keefer paddled towards a distant England, undetected by German Forces until he was finally picked up from at sea by a Supermarine Walrus of the RAF Air-Sea Rescue Service at 11:45pm some six hours after his ordeal began. Squadron Leader Keefer was safely returned to his Squadron to resume operational flying

403 had two operations. Morning escort (Ramrod 637), afternoon sweep (Ranger 127/23)
From 430 Daily Operations Record Book:
"RANGER 127/23: Our aircraft took off from Friston on this ranger and swept areas of Evereux, Paris, Melun, Creil. The swoop was uneventful until just after our aircraft had passed Evereux where a few bursts of flak were encountered. Three of our aircraft were hit by intense accurate light flak thrown up from a wood near Saint-Andre l'Eure and Flying Officer Ballantyne's aircraft was seen to strike the ground and explode. Flight Lieutenant Goldberg reported that he would have to force land and was last seen gliding down with flaps down at about 300 feet. Flying Officer Preston's aircraft was also damaged. South of Saint-Andre L'Eure the weather was seen to be closing in with 10/10th low cloud and so our aircraft turned for base. They crossed out the French coast at Trouville where light flak was experienced. Three army lorries where shot up and claimed as destroyed in the vicinity of Verneuil. No enemy aircraft were seen."
From 403 Monthly Summary Operations Record Book
"Two shows today and also 21 non-operational sorties. We were escort wing on the morning do and this afternoon carried out an eight man Ranger. No enemy aircraft were seen. On the Ranger we lost two pilots, Flying Officer DH Ballantyne and Flight Lieutenant D Goldberg our adjutant. Flying Officer J Preston's aircraft was severely damaged by flank but he managed to land at Friston. Flying Officer Ballantyne's aircraft was seen to hit the ground and explode and very little hope in mind for him. He has been posted as missing believed killed. Flight Lieutenant Goldberg reported that he was going to attempt a crash landing. He has been posted as missing but all are hoping he will be walking back to see us one of these days. Flying Officer L Foster was posted to No 53 OTU ??? today."

401 (F) Sqn (RCAF) B88 Heesch Netherlands
From 401 Squadron month end Operations Record Book:
"The squadron did two shows today. They were both combined missions with 411 Squadron, the first being an escort job to Invaders [a type of medium bomber] bombing Enchede/Hesepe/Osnabruk area. Both shows proved uneventfui as far as contact with enemy aircraft was concerned, but Flying Officer ARW McKay (Can J/35281) ran into difficulty and failed to return. Just north of Borken [Germany], Bud reported over the radio transmitter that his engine had packed up, and that he was baling out. He went into cloud just at that time and he was not seen again. Bud was a quiet chap whose presence will certainly be missed. Good luck fella - wherever you are."
NOTE 1: The daily ORB says that Flying Officer McKay was in Spitfire MH728. This is highly unlikely, because MH728 continued to fly with 401 Squadron after this date. Also, McKay's logbook shows MH728, but this was filled in by Squadron Leader WT Klersy after McKay was missing, and he likely used the incorrect ORB. Conclusion: McKay flew MK888, YO-B.

401 (F) Sqn (RCAF) B4, Beny-sur-Mer
401 City of Westmount Squadron (Mors Celerrima Hostibus) RAF B4, Beny-sur-Mer, France. Spitfire IX aircraft ML 135 YO-D, flown by Flight Lieutenant (then Flying Officer) GD "Jerry" Billing (RCAF) was hit by flak while on patrol and force landed, 7 miles South of Carentan, France. Billing survived, evading capture in swamp for several days before finding refuge in the town Brehal, France where the Le Bourgois family cared for his injuries and hid him from the Germans, not as Resistance members but ordinary French citizens who risked all to help him. Billing was liberated by advancing US Forces 1944-07-31 and returned to the UK where he was told that due to his evasion experience, he could no longer fly combat missions in order to protect those who had helped him
Flight Lieutenant Billing first flew with 19 Squadron RAF in Europe and in Malta with 185 Squadron RAF during which time, in addition to scoring multiple victories survived being shot down on two occasions. He returned to the UK and joined 401 Canadian Squadron, with whom he had his Evader experience. Billing flew over 250 sorties during his two tours of duty in World War II and was released from the RCAF in 1946. On return to Canada, he became the chief flying instructor at the Windsor Flying club
Not finished with the military, in 1948 Billing re-enlisted in the RCAF and was based in Trenton, Ontario where he trained instructor pilots and went on to fly North American B-25 Mitchell, Avro Lancaster, North American P-51 Mustang and De Havilland Vampire aircraft
In 1951 Billing joined the Canadian jet demo team the Blue Devils flying in the #2 position in a De Havilland Vampire for the teams last season. Later in 1951 he was sent to New Brunswick as an instructor for jet pilots, were he flew the Lockheed T33 and later North American F86 Sabre jets in 1952
In 1954 he was assigned back to the UK as a exchange officer in a fighter development squadron where he flew the Gloster Meteor, Hawker Hunter, Supermarine Swift, English Electric Canberra, and De Havilland Venom aircraft. Returning to Canada in 1956, and much to his dislike, he was behind a desk pushing paperwork for the Defense Command, but flew as much as he could, also getting checked out in the Avro Canada CF100
In 1958 he was posted to a Tactical squadron where he did air show displays in the Canadair CF 86 Sabre, as well as ferrying aircraft around Canada and Europe. During this time Billing also trained Canada's second jet aerobatic team "” the Golden Hawks
He left the RCAF in 1964 to become a test pilot for De Havilland and travelled the world displaying their aircraft for potential customers. During the Viet Nam war he delivered De Havilland Caribou aircraft there for the CIA
After leaving De Havilland, he trained pilot Don Plumb, a local Windsor businessman, who had bought a dual seat Spitfire (TE308). Billing worked with Plumb for many years displaying his warbird fleet at various air shows across North America
In the early 70's Jerry Billing was contacted to see if he would be interested in flying a Spitfire Mk IX (MK923) from California to Chicago to be restored. The aircraft belonged to American film actor Cliff Robertson and the two came to the agreement that Jerry would be responsible for flying the Spitfire at air shows and Mr. Robertson would keep it flying financially. For over 22 years, from the mid-70's to the mid-90's Billing flew MK923 at many air shows across North America, thrilling thousands of spectators with his skill and grace behind the controls of the Spitfire. In 1984 Jerry flew for Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip on their visit to Windsor Ontario (receiving a thank-you letter from the Queen). In 1992 Billing passed a unique milestone of 50 consecutive years flying Spitfires (again receiving congratulations from Her Majesty the Queen in a letter). In 1994 Billing retired from flying Spitfire MK923 and the aircraft was sold to Craig McGraw. It is now displayed at the Museum Of Flight, Seattle
During his remarkable career, Billing flew the Spitfire in war and many other aircraft types in peace into the jet age. He displayed Spitfires NH188, TE308, SL721 and MK923 for many different owners across North America and checked out many pilots to fly a Spitfire, an iconic aircraft designed a built by the Supermarine Aircraft Company, founded in part by Billing's Great Uncle, Noel Pemberton Billing
Jerry Billing passed away January 9, 2015 in Essex, Ontario at 93 years of age

401 (F) Sqn (RCAF) RAF B4 Beny-sur-Mer France
401 City of Westmount Squadron (Mors Celerrima Hostibus) RAF B4, Beny-sur-Mer, France. Spitfire IX aircraft ML 135 YO-D, flown by Flight Lieutenant (then Flying Officer) GD "Jerry" Billing (RCAF) was hit by flak while on patrol and force landed, 7 miles South of Carentan, France. Billing survived, evading capture in swampy area for several days before finding refuge in the town Brehal, France where the Le Bourgois family cared for his injuries and hid him from the Germans, not as Resistance members but as ordinary French citizens who risked all to help him. Billing was liberated by advancing US Forces 1944-07-31 and returned to the UK where he was told that due to his evasion experience, he could no longer fly combat missions in order to protect those who had helped him
