Re: Spitfire's first(?) Pilot ?
From Geoffrey Sinclair:


Test pilots at Supermarine pre-war included Joseph Summers, George Pickering and Jeffrey Quill while Alex Henshaw joined after the war began. Henshaw was moved to head of test pilots for the Castle Bromwich. As production grew the system evolved so pilots tended to serve tours at the factories. Some books,

Sigh for a Merlin by Alex Henshaw

Spitfire: A Test Pilot's Story and Birth of a Legend: The Spitfire by Jeffrey Quill.
