The Spitfire Mk.IX modification was made on the Mk.V in 1942 with the installation of the more potent engine. This airplane was reliable and easy in service and possessed excellent flight characteristics. The Mk.IX were used in the European theatre of WWII in many roles – as universal (F), low-altitude (LF) and high-altitude (HF) fighters, and as fighter-bombers.
Spitfire Mk.IX were in service in the RAF, USAAF, Air Forces of USSR, France, Italy, Czechoslovakia and some other states. Spitfire Mk.VII fighters were built from August 1942. This modification was intended for intercepting high-altitude enemy aircraft and had a pressurised cabin and wing with extended tips.
