The Spitfire Mk.V, some say the best variant of this aircraft.

Here's a Mk.V with clipped wings, this gave a faster roll rate and more maneuverability at low altitudes

The Spitfire Mk.V is a very important aircraft for the new Italian air force born after the 8 september 1943.
in the august 1944, the "aeronautica italiana Cobelligerante" recive 53 old Spit. Mk5 the italian tecnich can repare and use only 33 of them
all these aircraft went to equip the 20° Gruppo 51° stormo. in 4 november 1944 they made the first combat mission...

Here it is my first Spitfire. To regret I did not make Italian as well I want first to make some standard without tropical filter. So I decide to make US sample. But hope later will also add Italian sample.

Great profile No.1 Here's a bit of background on the Squadron.

The markings "M D" are for 133 Sqn was formed  on August 1st 1941.
The Squadron was first based at Coltishall, England. An RAF Officer by the name of George Brown from 71 Sqn assumed command of the newly activated Squadron.
They then moved to Duxford on August 16th, again moving to Eglinton, Ireland to patrol over the North Atlantic. After spending all its time in Hawker Hurricane IIs, the Squadron received Supermarine Spitfires IIs in Late October 1941.  The Squadron was then equipped with Spitfire VAs after after moving to Kirton in Lindsey. They upgraded to Spitfire VBs in late Jan/Feb. 1942 and yet again were moved to Biggen Hill in May 1942. Between July and August 1942 the Squadron moved to Gravesend and then Lympne.

The Squadron undertook operates in Operation Jubilee in which they covered Allied landing forces during the invasion of France. After this they moved back to Biggin Hill. The members of 133 Squadron received Spitfire Mk IXs at Biggin Hill and used them effectively while providing escorts to American B-17 Bombers.

The Squadron was on the move again, this time to Great Sampford and fate took its course. During an escort mission, known as the “Morlaix Mission” the entire squadron was effectively destroyed after being blown off course due to unexpectedly high winds . Thinking they were over friendly territory, the aircraft descended and were instantly met by the Luftwaffe near Brest, France. Ten members were lost, killed or captured in France, and one aircraft crash landed in England.

The Royal Air Force 133 Eagle Squadron was transferred into the U.S. Army Air Force on September 29th, 1942, where it became the 336 Squadron, 4th Fighter Group.
