SynopsisCanadians flew Spitfires in over a dozen RCAF fighter squadrons and in RAF squadrons in every theatre of war. These are the first-person accounts of Canadians who saw that action first-hand. According to Wing Commander James E. "Stocky" Edwards, "Canadian Spitfire pilots were among the best in the Allied Air Forces. The Spitfire seem made for Canadians. It matched their confident and aggressive spirit."
An excellent sequel to the first Spitfire The Canadians book. Continues with additional info about other RCAF veterans that were involved with this great aircraft during World War II. Full of interesting stories, sharp black and white photos and excellent colour aircraft art. A great addition to any military aviation library.
