About this title:
234 Squadron of the RAF had the distinctive motto of, “We spit fire and death”. Highly appropriate for a squadron that flew Spitfires during WWII! This fighter squadron fought in the Battle of Britain, and with its Spitfires, it covered the Allied invasion beaches in Normandy.

The Mark V Spitfire was essentially a Mk. I or II fuselage strengthened to accommodate a Merlin 45 engine, and it was the most widely produced Spitfire variant of the war. Meanwhile, the “Vb” designation referred to a fighter with four .303 machine guns and two 20mm cannons.
