Hard to beat the Spit as an interceptor. Negatives: range and smallish ammunition load. Referred to as “the 1-kill wonder” because that’s usually all you got before your ammo ran out.

Hard to beat the Spit as an interceptor. That's what it was built for.
The Bearcat, would eat it for lunch however....
That was built as an interceptor also but later in the war.

But bailing out of the tight-fittin’ Spifire cockpit was like getting your girl friend out of her pantyhose—you pretty much had to pull her upside down.
