1. At the beginning of 1993, Spitfire played as a garage rockabilly trio, whose music also included some elements of noise. Their first live gig took place during the St.Petersburg Psycho Festival in February '93. The summer '93 brought new ideas and Spitfire began to do more noise/garage, they decided to give up their double bass for an electric bass guitar. While searching for a new sound, they did a program based on covers of '60's garage music.
At the end of 1993, their music had turned into garage punk and finally into ska-core. Actually, ska had been one of their favourite styles and a big passion for a long time before they decided to play it themselves. A saxophonist and a trumpet player joined the band in the fall '93, and Spitfire transformed from an aggressive punk gang into jolly and humorous mini-orchestra playing punk-ska. The spring '94 brought both their first recording session and a new bassist. Since mastering that first demo, Spitfire has had a number of very successful concerts at various clubs. All these gigs were full of energy and enthusiasm.
In the spring '95 they released a song on the compilation called "United Colours of Ska", Volume II, on German "Pork Pie" label. A year later they recorded an album at St.Petersburg "Melodia" studio, which was then mixed in Berlin at Pork Pie. This album, called "Night Hunting", was released in the end of 1996. Spitfire has been touring regularly since that time.
In January 1999 Spitfire had made another recording session at Vielklang studio in Berlin, and the result came out in the spring with new album "The Coast Is Clear".
In the spring '01 a keyboard player joined the band making its sound even more powerful. At the same time Spitfire started a spinoff project St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review in collaboration with the members of St.Petersburg-based afro-caribbean-oriented band Markscheider Kunst. The initial idea was to make a single-show program comprised mostly of jazz standards such as "Sidewinder", "Corcovado", "Four" and original ska tunes ("St. Thomas", "Man in the street") to perform at Sergey Kuryokhin International Festival (SKIF) in April '01.
The line-up of this band included the bariton-sax and percussion players as well as all members of Spitfire. The show gained much interest and the band went on playing live gigs on Russian club scene. The debut album was recorded in March '02 at Dobrolet studio in St. Petersburg and put out in Russia in the fall '02 on small independent label Zvezda Records.
In November '01 Spitfire musicians were invited to participate in the recording session of the band Leningrad. This band was (and still is) one of the top acts on Russian music scene. The style of Leningrad music is hard to describe, since the regular play-list of their live show includes numbers stylistically varying from ska and reggae to punk and funky hip-hop. The Leningrad album "21st Century Pirates" was released in February '02 and the whole Spitfire line-up was invited to perform at Leningrad album release show at Yubileinyy Sports Palace in St. Petersburg. From that show on Spitfire musicians work together with Leningrad: recorded 4 albums - "For millions" (2003), "Second Magadan" (2003), "Babarobot" (2004), "Huinya" (2005, together with London-based cabaret trio Tiger Lillies) and played many gigs in Russia and Europe.
In November-December '02 Spitfire, St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review and Leningrad toured the United States. 15 gigs were performed all over the Atlantic coast from Boston to Miami. All events were of much interest for American audience. The second American tour of Leningrad and Spitfire was in the summer '03. The bands performed live in such cult venues as "Irving Plaza" and "CBGB's" (New York City), "Middle East" (Boston), "The Knitting Factory" (Los Angeles).
In January '04 the third Spitfire album "Thrills And Kills" came out both in Europe on German Vielklang label and in Russia on recently opened independent Shnur'OK label. As the previous one "The Coast Is Clear", "Thrills And Kills" was also recorded and mastered at Vielklang studio in Berlin. This album was more diverse musically and included more tracks which style could be rather referred to as guitar rock with the horn section. The album release was supported by a 5-weeks-long tour: 27 gigs in Germany, Switzerland and Italy.
In the spring '04 some members of Spitfire were invited to take part in the project called "The Optymistica Orchestra". This initial aim of this project was to compose a live soundtrack for the short-cut movies compilation "10 minutes older: the violin". As it usually happens, the band went on playing live and even recorded the debut album at St. Petersburg Dobrolet studio. The album is supposed to be released in the spring '05.
At the moment Spitfire is making a new programme for their fourth album and preparing for a new European tour.
2. Spitfire is a metalcore / mathcore quintet. Originally, the band featured vocalist and guitarist Matt Beck, drummer Chris Raines, and bassist Jimmy Reeves. With this lineup, they released an EP called Straining Towards What's To Come on 2Jake Records and The Dead Next Door on Solid State Records in 1999. Later, having added new vocalist Jon Spencer, Spitfire released a second EP, called The Slideshow Whiplash, for Goodfellow Records. Soon after, in 2001, the band broke up.
In late 2004, Spitfire re-formed with new members. Reeves left the band, leaving Beck and Raines as the only original members. Spencer was again their vocalist, and they added guitarist Scottie Henry of Norma Jean, and bassist "Dr. Dan" Tulloh, formerly of Scarlet. They recorded a new album for Goodfellow Records, titled Self Help; it was released on February 28, 2006. After the recording of Self Help, Ian Sabo joined the band on bass, and Tulloh switched to guitar, giving the band three guitarists.
So far the bands present and future is unsure, however in mid 2008 the band released Cult Fiction on Goodfellow.
3. Spitfire were born in Verona, Italy, in 1981, following the New Wave of British Heavy Metal spreading all over Europe and America: they can boast the title of the first metal band in their city, and over the years to come they will be the most popular Veronese rock band in Italy.
The original composition of the group, vocals, two guitars, bass guitar and drums, have recorded a live demotape ("Spitfire", "Samurai", "Beyond Price") and also have made themselves known on a national scale thanks to radio programmes, interviews and reviews in fanzines and specialized magazines (the monthly "Rockerilla " presented the group as "the Italian Iron Maiden").
After many live concerts SPITFIRE reached in the spring of 1983 a stable line-up, featuring Giacomo Gigantelli on vocals and bass guitar, Stefano Pisani and Stefano Bianchini on guitars, Gaetano Avino on drums.
At the beginning of 1984 SPITFIRE released the 7’’ Blade Runner/A Quiet Man, published and distributed by Minotauro Records, Pavia, a new label interested in the Italian hard rock and heavy metal scene (Strana Officina, Paul Chain, Revenge).
The record was distributed in Italy, Belgium, Holland, France, England, U.S.A., and was positively welcomed by the official and underground press, radio networks and public. This led to a short Italian tour from May to July 1984 reaching Verona, Bergamo, Pavia, Naples (where SPITFIRE played together with Strana Officina and Vanadium in the Palatenda Partenope full of fans); the band played also in some metal festivals.
Currently the 7’’ is a rare piece for metal collectors; it was reissued on February 2009 by Minotauro Records.
New troubles slowed down the work of the group during 1985, until the ultimate trio line-up Giacomo Gigantelli (vocals and bass guitar), Stefano Pisani (guitar) and Gaetano Avino (drums).
During that year there were intense contacts with foreign labels interested in the Italian rock scene (Rave-On Records, Metal Blade, Axe Killer, Concret Warrior, King Classic).
This was the period of SPITFIRE’s full creative maturity: they played live up to the end of 1986 and left as a last inheritance the demo "Heroes in the Storm" ("Hurricane - I'm Free", "Merchants of Death", "Shadow of the Axe", "Stones of Venice", "Heroes in the Storm"), including the sessions for an album that should have been published for the King Classic label, which was never released due to the sudden band’s break-up.
In the meantime, irony of fate, the American magazine "Aardshock" defined SPITFIRE as a future star of the metal universe and two months after the break-up they received a proposal to include one of their tracks in an American metal compilation and the album contract from King Classic ready for signing…
In 2002 the independent label Andromeda releases the cd "Heroes in the Storm", a collection of all the songs recorded by the band; in 2004 there is a one-night SPITFIRE reunion (Giacomo Gigantelli, Stefano Pisani, Gaetano Avino) for an unique concert on the occasion of the 80's Italian Metal Legion Festival in Domegliara (VR - Italy).
From that concert was issued in the same year the cd "Live Reunion".
At the beginning of 2008 SPITFIRE join again for the pre-production of "Time and Eternity", the next band's release for the label My Graveyard Productions, featuring songs composed between 1982 and 1985, and never recorded.

@PaddyPatrone
The 190`s cockpit layout is a thing of beauty. So clean.
@werre2
190's cockpit layout is awesome compared to other planes of the time. Logical and - as you put it - clean.
@wrathofatlantis2316
And way more cramped than the Me-109... 22 inches at the shoulders vs 24, and no lateral head movement at all... But the FW-190A turned slightly better at low speeds, especially to the right below 250 mph, and that mattered more than anything else about it: Russian Red Fleet article: "The 190A will inevitably offer turning combat at minimum speed." And if you think that is wrong, you haven't shot down as many of them as Pierre Clostermann (10): "The idea that at low speeds, below 220 knots, the Spitfire out-turned the FW-190A, or the 109, is a good joke." And no, they mostly fought at 3Gs and 200 mph, and almost never above 5G (although the Spitfire more often did, since like the P-51, it liked high speeds)...
@fraggsta
It's one of the first aircraft to make an attempt at an ergonomic cockpit layout. By this I mean main flying instruments grouped together, engine instruments grouped etc. Contrast this to earlier British aircraft where the designers and engineers pretty much just put the instruments wherever there was space on the panel with no real thought towards how the pilot needed to use them. I'm not sure which did this first but the P51 was also an early attempt to group the instruments into a logical layout to make things easier for the pilot.
Another thing that is worth mentioning about the 190 is how many of its control surfaces were electrically operated and generally very easy to use. Later in the war this was important, with inexperienced pilots.

The cockpit ended up influencing the design of the later F8F Bearcat.
To quote an article: "The Bearcat's design was influenced by an evaluation in early 1943 by Grumman test pilots and engineering staff of a captured Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighter in England.[1]After flying the Fw 190, Grumman test pilot Bob Hall wrote a report he directed to President Leroy Grumman who personally laid out the specifications for Design 58, the successor to the Hellcat, closely emulating the design philosophy that had spawned the German lightweight fighter."
As an aside, Hall wasn't told about the 190s landing characteristics, namely that it lands quite heavily with the throttle completely retracted. Hall, accustomed to landing Grumman designs that--being carrier aircraft--were intended to be landed with the engine at idle, ended up bouncing the 190 down the runway and slamming the throttle forward to gain some altitude. On his next attempt, he kept a bit of throttle on.
A few of the British ground crewmen made some money, having bet to see how high Hall would bounce when he landed. This latter anecdote can be found in an audio recording of Hall on the Credo Library at Umass dot edu.

@@fraggsta Only the mobile cowl ring and flaps were electric, not the control surfaces. Although the 190 controls were in fact actuated by rods not the usual cables, which rods were less susceptible to slackening over time. It is true the 190 was more newbie friendly, but to get the most out of it, the 109 was actually more "normal" and intuitive. The 190 required combat at low speeds were you pushed on the stick to turn at its best (below 250 mph at 3 Gs), and you had to make the best low speed turns not only by pushing slightly to keep the nose from rising, but also with the stick deflected to catch the wing drop: This was very unsettling for newbies as it was not a normal way of flying, but was where the 190 out-turned most types, especially Spitfires, and P-51s even more so in right turns (again, left turns were more natural to most right handed pilots).

My Grandfather flew Mk9s in the war, it was his favourite plane, he flew Hurricane Spitfire Mk2 MK5 Mk9 then Tempests, he said when 190 was introduced the only hope was to stick with your wing man in a tight turn, but equally when MK9 was introduced the 190 pilots were stunned. My Grandfather died aged 99 in his bed ❤

He was a very fortunate man. He got paid to fly some of the best aircraft ever, and he lived to tell the tale. Many of his contemporaries were not as fortunate. He had a family and lived to be 99. Can't ask for much more out of life than all of that!

The Spitfire Mk-9 was introduced very quickly. It must been planned a good while before it was needed.
@brucetucker4847
@@davidelliott5843 They had planned the Mk 8 but it wasn't going to be ready as soon as it needed so the Mk 9 was kind of a stopgap hybrid between the 5 and the 8 that could be rushed into service very quickly - the first ones were essentially Mk 5 airframes with minimal modifications to take the Merlin 61 engine intended for the Mk 8.
