The Supermarine Spitfire Mk V was introduced in early 1941 as a further evolution of the iconic British fighter, developed to keep pace with Luftwaffe advancements. It was essentially a Spitfire Mk I or II airframe fitted with the more powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin 45 engine, producing around 1,440 horsepower. The first Mk V flew on 20 February 1941 and quickly became the most numerous Spitfire variant during the war, with approximately 6,487 built. It served extensively across multiple theatres, including the UK, the Mediterranean, and North Africa. The Mk V was produced in several sub-variants, the most common being the Mk Va (eight machine guns), Mk Vb (two 20 mm Hispano cannons and four .303 machine guns), and Mk Vc (universal wing capable of various armament configurations). Although initially effective, it was eventually outclassed by the German Fw 190, prompting development of the improved Mk IX. Despite this, the Mk V remained in widespread service throughout the war and played a crucial role during key campaigns such as the defence of Malta and the invasion of North Africa.
