The Supermarine Spitfire MK.XIV was a British fighter aircraft that entered service in 1944. It was an improved version of the Spitfire MK.IX, with a more powerful Rolls-Royce Griffon engine and a redesigned wing. The Spitfire MK.XIV had a top speed of 448 mph (721 km/h) and could climb to 20,000 ft (6,096 m) in 6 minutes. It was armed with two 20 mm Hispano cannons and four 0.303 inch Browning machine guns.
The Spitfire MK.XIV was used in various roles, such as interceptor, fighter-bomber, reconnaissance and ground attack. It was especially effective against the German V-1 flying bombs, shooting down 300 of them. The Spitfire MK.XIV was also deployed in the Far East, where it faced the Japanese Zero and Ki-84 fighters. The Spitfire MK.XIV was one of the most successful variants of the Spitfire series, and remained in service until 1955.
