In the Second World War, Britian was in desparate need of long range fighters. Churchill call upon Supermarine, known for the legendary Spitfire, to build such a plane. It was to be called “Merlin” named after the engine that powers it. The palne excelled at speed and turn rate, but when compared to the Spitfire, had lackluster rate of climb and abismal roll rate. Only 6 were built, as the American P-51s proved to be a better platform.
