In the midst of the Second World War, a series of devastating raids by the Luftwaffe targeted Southampton, leaving the city's Spitfire factories in ruins. However, the production of these iconic fighter planes did not cease. Instead, it moved underground, to secret locations staffed by women, children, and non-combatant men. Despite their limited engineering experience, these individuals worked tirelessly to build a fleet of Spitfires that would become one of the greatest warplanes in history. This remarkable story highlights the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
