Originally delivered new to the RAF's No. 610 Sq. in late May 1942, this aircraft was passed on to the USAAF's newly formed 31st FG in mid July. In early September, it was transferred to No. 71 "Eagle" Sq., which duly became the 334th FS as part of the newly formed 4th FG at month-end. Deemed surplus to requirements by the Eighth Air Force in March 1943 following the arrival of P-47Cs in-theater, the fighter returned to RAF service with No. 66 and 340 Sqs. Damaged in combat on December 7, 1943, the fighter was relegated to training duties following its repair and was finally written off in a forced landing following engine failure on May 2, 1945, while serving with No. 57 Operational Training Unit. Designed by R.J.Michell to meet a British Air Ministry specification, the Supermarine Spitfi.
