In September 1940 the Luftwaffe almost devastated the spitfire factories in Southampton. Production was moved to secret locations in Wiltshire, staffed by the Women of Wiltshire, children and non-combatant men, who built a fleet of spitfires in barns, sheds, bus depots and garages. This is their story.
