Ah, the blue Spitfire with no armament.

These were camera ships, guns removed so they could carry more gas, fly deeper into enemy territory.

I did not know that. Learned something new :)

The US Army Air Corps used the photo spitfires also.

Thanks for posting.
Worth the watch and then some!
Stories like that are very humbling.
At that young age, flying P38 and Spitfires into a warzone. Incredible!

And a twin engined P-38 variant, the F-4, also painted blue. No guns, big cameras.

Click, hold and drag the mouse around and notice pop-up notations of everything.

I apologize if this is a repost, but with all the talk about Spitfires...
