This review is from: 249 At War : The Authorized History of the Raf's Top Claiming Squadron of WWII (Hardcover)
Author Brian Cull did a superb job in writing this outstanding book about RAF's top-scoring squadron of World War II. It's everything there: the air battles, the planes flown, the comic side of it, the lost lives. Fortunately, the author didn't forget to research the German side, giving the book an accuracy seldom found in WW II books. Fantastic!!!

SO MUCH INFORMATION !,
By Gergellor (Supimpalāndia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 249 At War : The Authorized History of the Raf's Top Claiming Squadron of WWII (Hardcover)
This book has so much information about 249 that it was printed in very small typeletters (the only flaw in it, I think). But we fly together with all the pilots (it's amazing how RAF Squadrons transfered and incorporated new pilots in a stupendous velocity! ) and score their kills. THe great part is about the fighting in Malta.

Great,
This review is from: 249 At War : The Authorized History of the Raf's Top Claiming Squadron of WWII (Hardcover)
Brian CUll (sometimes along with Christopher SHores) continues to write a series of deeply-researched, unbeliavable expensive, WW II aviaton books. This one deals about a RAF Squadron who fought at the peak Battles of Britain and Malta, at their most periculous phases, and in doing so achieved the highest scoring number of air kills in RAF.
