Homebuilt Spitfire at Oshkosh

Like many of us, Bob DeFord of Prescott, Arizona, dreamed of owning a Spitfire. Like most of us, he couldn’t afford one.

Unlike just about any of us, however, he did something about it: He built his own.

Take an up-close look at his remarkable homebuilt Spitfire, built to 1:1 scale and powered by an Allison V-12 engine.

It was one of the true stars of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015.
