    The Spitfire was a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was used by the Royal Air Force and other Allied countries before, during, and after World War II.

    Many variants of the Spitfire were built, using several wing configurations, it was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft.

    It was also the only British fighter produced continuously throughout the war. The Spitfire was designed as a short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft by R. J. Mitchell, chief designer at Supermarine Aviation Works, which operated as a subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrong starting in 1928. Mitchell created the Spitfire’s distinctive elliptical wing with cutting-edge sunken rivets (designed by Beverley Shenstone) to have the thinnest possible cross-section, helping give the aircraft a higher top speed than several contemporary fighters, including the Hawker Hurricane. A victory marking (also called a victory mark, kill marking, or kill mark) is a symbol applied in stencil or decal to the side of a military aircraft to denote an aerial victory achieved by the aircraft’s pilot or crew.

    The use of victory markings originated during World War I, burgeoned during World War II and frequently took the form of the roundel or national flag of the nationality of the aircraft defeated.

    This was my first large scale painting completed in honour of Richard Alexander Howley the only Canadian born pilot to fly in the Battle of Britain.

    He was born on April 16, 1920, in Victoria, British Columbia, where his Dad, on loan from the Royal Navy, was stationed at the naval base. He received his education at St. Boniface College in Saint John’s, Newfoundland, and at Colebrook in the United Kingdom. He was killed in action and his body was never recovered from the English Channel.

    Painted in September 2020 on the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
