The Dutch Spitfire | Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX Walk Around

Описание: Skytrain Media's Henry Simpson leads us on an interview with Royal Netherlands Air Force pilot "Deuce," who also happens to pilot the Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX of the Royal Netherlands Air Force Historic Flight.

"Deuce" gives us an incredible breakdown covering the roles of this aircraft and specific airframe during the Second World War, and the essential role the Spitfire played in liberating the Netherlands. He also discusses the multi-role nature of this fighter, its limitations, and its uses after the war.

Active Duty pilots flying warbirds are doing heroic work, and our history in aviation is kept alive by their expertise as well as that of all of the maintainers behind the aircraft.

Special thank you to "Deuce" and the RNAF Historic Flight. This video would not be possible without the help of our N2V Tour Team:
