Supermarine Spitfire Mk. XVI Bubbletop was one of the variants of the legendary British Spitfire fighter plane used during World War II. Mk. XVI was a modification introduced in 1944, which was characterized by a spherical-shaped cabin (Bubbletop). It significantly improved the pilot's visibility. The plane achieved a high maximum speed of approximately 676 km/h. The armament included two 20mm machine guns and four 7.7mm machine guns. Spitfire Mk.
