Spitfire (Battle of Britain)

I was going to have it on my list too but I couldn't remember if the
Battle of Britain fighter was the Spitfire or Tempest :-)

The Hurricane played a big role in the Battle of Britain, and got little
of the glory. The Tempest was a mud mover used in ground attack, it was
the A-10 of WWII. Came after the BoB in about 1944 TOS.
