Spitfire Mk IX – Freeware.
The Spitfire is an iconic aircraft and why wouldn’t you want it in your virtual hanger collection.

The work horse of the battle of Britain the Hurricane is often overshadowed by the Spitfire. It’s contribution to the war effort cannot be denied. It’s primary role was to hit the Luftwaffe bombers hard while the Spitfires kept the BF-109s fighters busy.
