Just watched a 1942 movie simply titled "Spitfire" starring Leslie Howard and David Niven. In the UK it was released under the name "The First of the Few". It's the story of R.J. Mitchell's development of the Spitfire. Typical 1940's feel good propaganda movie but still worth a look. Sad that he never knew what an impact his design had on the war.

Some samples from it were used by the British band Public Service Broadcasting in their track "Spitfire" and some clips from the movie in the accompanying video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u4Md_aXVJE
