World War II Spitfire "Sweetest Airplane"

EMail I got today, interesting video

This is a great story about a WWII pilot .. 18 years old and just out of high school, who was trained to take pictures of damage done by B-17’s to targets in Germany – in a British Spitfire with extra fuel tanks where the guns were... in other words, he flew over Germany unarmed....

There is just something epic about that low throaty roar of a Spitfire passing overhead.
