This is the photorecon version of the Spitfire although it is in reality PA908. It is on display at the National Museum of the USAF in the markings of a 14th Photographic Squadron Mk. XI based at Mount Farm airfield in England. The USAAF 14th Photographic Squadron of the 8th AF operated Spitfire MK. XIs from November 1943 to April 1945, flying hazardous long-range reconnaissance missions over mainland Europe. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
