Whenever the Spitfire is mentioned, the name of its famous designer R.J. Mitchell comes to mind. However, Mitchell died in June 1937 and never saw his prototype design progress into becoming one of the most famous fighter aircraft of the WWII. Working under Mitchell as chief draughtsman was Joe Smith, who was greatly involved with the early design of the Spitfire.
