A little real world background - During 1937 and 1938 a surprisingly long list of countries (including Japan!) had requested quotations and delivery timescales for the Spitfire leading the UK Air Ministry to allocate a priority list of 12 countries with Estonia in 3rd place behind Belgium (2nd) and France (1st). Another Baltic State interested in the Spitfire was Lithuania who enquired about purchasing 14 Spitfires but this enquiry was never allocated a priority number and lapsed.
