The Spitfire An Operational and Combat History Book by Ken Delve New

The Spitfire is often cited as being superior to its competitors during the Battle of Britain and beyond, but the aircraft was continually in a development race with rivals and its ultimate effectiveness was in the hands of the pilots. Drawing on official reports and summaries as well as pilots' accounts, this study focuses on the evolution of the Spitfire, pilot training and the changing combat tactics employed in different theatres throughout the war.\n\nNEW Books from family run Booksellers. \nOur carefully selected titles are in stock and posted in either cardboard packaging or other protective envelopes.
