BANDITS AT 10 O'CLOCK!

An excavation team searching for a stash of Spitfires - the legendary World War II-era British fighter aircraft - said a wooden crate believed to contain one of the planes has been found full of muddy water, in northern Myanmar. During the "Battle of Britain" when Britain stood alone against Nazi Germany, the Spitfire helped Britain beat back the waves of Nazi bombers which came over night and day. Without first winning the Battle of Britain, historians agree that Germany would have conquered Britain; there would have been no U.S. led Second Front with D-Day - Russia being the First Front - and Nazi Germany could have won the Second World War. The Spitfire remains the most iconic and famous British combat aircraft of all time.
