The name "Spitfire" was derived from a horse owned by the aircraft's designer, R.J. Mitchell. The term "spitfire" itself refers to a person with a fiery temper, reflecting the aircraft's aggressive performance and speed. The Supermarine Spitfire became iconic during World War II, particularly for its role in the Battle of Britain, and the name has since become synonymous with resilience and bravery in aviation history.
