Early ones had the Wright Whirlwind in them but those that came later, including the consignment that went to UK had the Wasp installed.

 

In his autobiography, Geoffrey "Boy" Wellum wrote about the vicious wing drop at the stall that killed a number of RAF trainees including one of his good friends. Geoffrey went on to gain the DFC in Spitfires as one of the youngest pilots flying with the RAF during the Battle. His book is an excellent read if you can get hold of a copy.
