History and Use of the Spitfire Mk.22

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.22 was one of the later and most advanced versions of the legendary British fighter that played a key role during World War II and in the post-war period. The Mk.22 entered service after the end of hostilities – in the second half of the 1940s (circa 1945-1949) – and represented the Royal Air Force’s transition into the jet age. It featured a thoroughly redesigned fuselage, reinforced elliptical wing, a powerful Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, and modern armament.

The Mk.22 variant was used mainly by Great Britain – serving in the RAF and Royal Auxiliary Air Force units during the postwar period, most commonly utilized for training purposes and as an interceptor in the early stages of the Cold War.
