The Supermarine Spitfire's Forgotten First Victory

Did you know that the legendary Supermarine Spitfire, a symbol of British defiance and aerial prowess, claimed its first aerial victory not over the skies of England, but in the unexpected setting of Scotland?

Join me as I unravel the details of this historic encounter. Who was the skilled RAF pilot behind the Spitfire's first triumphant battle against the Luftwaffe? What were the circumstances that led to this momentous event? And why is this victory, a crucial turning point in air combat history, often overlooked?

Note: I had a bit of an issue with the audio on this video, working on it for the next one.
