Spitfire III - questions
Hello!
Reading a few books on Spitfire I have met different informations about Spitfire Mk III. First of all, wing span and surface. According to Caygill's book (Combat Legends) it's 9.93m. Matusiak in his book on Spitfire Mk V writes that the span was 9.30 m. Same information I found in Price's Spitfire monography (published by AJ Press in 1997). I also have Shaklady and Morgan's 'Spitfire - The History', yet there's no information about it...or maybe I have overlooked it. Now the surface problem. What was it? Second problem. What version of Merlin powered Spitfire Mk III during its maiden flight - Merlin X or Merlin XX? And the last, I think, problem. What was the original painting scheme? Thank you for every hint.
