No. The Spitfire first flew in the year 1936 and entered service with the RAF in 1938, just in time for the start of World War Two.
Hanna Reitsch was a most remarkable pilot: first woman airline captain, first woman to fly a helicopter, first woman to fly a rocket aircraft, first woman to fly a jet and one of the best glider pilots who still set glider record flights at the age of 75.
I would almost consider this a dumb question. The MiG will most certainly out-maneuver, out-fly, and generally stomp the Spitfire. While the Spitfire was excellent for its time, it is no fighter jet.
The problem is there were almost 25 different versions of a spitfire so there could be many different answers. The first spitfires fastest record was 606kmph...which then broke the engine The latest spitfire before the war ended reached almost 900kmph But really you need to check the different types cause they're all different
Drag on an airplane increases greatly the faster an airplane flies, and so you need massive amounts of power to over come the drag as you break through the sound barrier, so under its own power no a spitfire could not fly faster than the speed of sound
1,135 miles for the MK XIV it was 800 published by an eleven year old
A Supermarine Spitfire can travel 423 miles on one tank of gas.
The spitfire was it a good fighting machine
It depends on the version. The Mark 1 was capable of about 360 mph (the prototype was ~340 mph), the F Mk 24 could do around 450 mph. The ultimate development (the Spiteful) was capable of 480 mph.
He was the first pilot to fly pilot to fly by himself.
The Spitfire could reach 606 mph .
550mph

Well the person who fly's the Concord is called a Pilot! The first pilot to fly the concord was Andre Turcat
No, Winston Churchill did not fly a Spitfire aircraft. He was a statesman and leader of the United Kingdom during World War II, but he did not fly fighter planes. Instead, he supported and encouraged the pilots who flew Spitfires and other aircraft in the war effort.
At cruise speeds a Spitfire could fly a little over 4 hours.
