The American Boeing P-26 Peashooter, was the first all-metal production fighter aircraft and the first pursuit monoplane used by the United States Army Air Corps.
The prototype first flew in 1932, and the plane was obsolete by 1935, when the prototype of the Messerschmitt BF-109 first flew. But the Corps flew this fighter as late as 1941 in the Philippines because better fighters in large numbers were not available.

A WW2 restored Spitfire, from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, captured in the middle of a barrel roll at Oulton Park on June 5th 2010.
Produced in greater numbers than any other British combat aircraft before or since the War, 20,400 Spitfires were built in 22 different variants (excluding the navalised Seafire) and the aircraft remained in production for 12 years. The prototype’s maiden flight took place on 5th March 1936 and Mk1 Spitfires entered RAF service (with 19(F) Squadron) in August 1938. The development potential of the original design allowed the Spitfire to establish and then maintain the air superiority so vital to the defence of Britain and to keep pace with the improvements in performance of Spitfire enemy fighters throughout WWII. Spitfires fought in every operational theatre of the War and remained in RAF front-line service up to 1954. At the end of its development the Spitfire carried an engine producing more than twice the power of the original, its maximum take-off weight and rate of climb had more than doubled, its firepower had increased by a factor of five and its maximum speed had been increased by a third; all this in essentially the same airframe. The Spitfire played a major part in achieving ultimate victory in WWII and truly deserves its place as probably the most successful fighter design ever, and certainly as the most famous and charismatic of all time.
Seen at Sundeland Airshow 2011. There will be better pics of planes at this show if you like this sort of thing; can't think what went wrong with mine :(
A pair of these vintage World War II Naval Aircraft flew over the U.S.S Midway. Fortunately I heard them coming and had a chance to focus.

I'm unable to remember the location of this show but I think my friends and I were on a holiday at the time, which would suggest somewhere in the west country.
