The book is structured chronologically and begins with a plane crash by a British Spitfire aircraft in Funäsdalen during the war. In addition, if the attempt to buy the type of aircraft during World War II and a visit to the Spitfire aircraft in Sweden after the war. emphasis of the book is obviously on the purchase of 50 Spitfire Mk. XIX reconnaissance aircraft to F 11 in Nyköping labeled S 31.
