SPITFIRE is the name for the journal of the Spitfire
Society. The original name (D.C.O.) derived from the practice of RAF
pilots initialling the paperwork after each flight with D.C.O.- "Duty
Carried Out". It has now been renamed in order to reflect
the changing face of our membership, away from the dominance of
wartime personnel that has ineviteably happened with time.
At present 2 issues are published each year, covering a range of areas of interest to members, outlining major Society activities, and boasting an active correspondence section.
The cover picture for this issue is a beautiful air-to-air shot of the Israeli Air Force Mk IX.
JUNIOR FLIGHTThe newest part of the Journal is a section entirely devoted to junior members, with items of special interest to them. What can the Society offer you? |
