The Supermarine Spitfire first took flight on March 5, 1936, and has since become one of the most iconic British aircraft in history. A mainstay of the Royal Air Force, it played a crucial role in defending Britain and supporting Allied forces throughout WWII, remaining in service well into the 1950s.

Designed by R.J. Mitchell, the Spitfire was renowned for its speed, agility, and distinctive elliptical wings, which gave it a decisive edge in dogfights. It became a symbol of British resilience during the Battle of Britain and remains a beloved icon of aviation history.

Retro51 proudly introduces the Spitfire Blueprint, the latest addition to the Officially Licensed Imperial War Museum Collection. This Tornado™ rollerball features detailed Spitfire schematics printed on a striking navy blue barrel, accented with antique silver trim. Each pen is engraved with a serial number on the top ring alongside the IWM logo and topped with the British Roundel for a covert finishing touch. Packaged in a matching tube, the IWM Spitfire Blueprint is ready for assignment—whether for yourself or the aviation enthusiast in your life.

Crafted with honor. Designed with purpose.
