The Supermarine S.6B was a racing seaplane developed by Reginald Mitchell for the Supermarine company in order to win the Schneider Trophy in 1931. The S.6B is often hailed as giving the impetus to the development of the Supermarine Spitfire and the Rolls Royce Merlin engine. Supermarine's Chief Designer, R.J. Mitchell, created a design along the lines of the seaplane racer in response to an Air Ministry specification (F7/30) for a new and modern monoplane fighter. Retractable landing gear were added and the wings evolved into elipitcal shape and became the Supermarine Spitfire.

The Supermarine Spitfire was the only Allied fighter in production at the outbreak of the Second World War that was still in production at the end of the war, having gone through 25 variations.
