Often overlooked, Canadian pilots scored big!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Invasions Without Tears: The Story of Canada's Top-Scoring Spitfire Wing in Europe During the Second World War (Hardcover)
The story of the 126 RCAF Spitfire Wing as told by its Senior Intelligence Officer. As the inside sleeve boldly proclaims:
"From its formation as 126 Airfield in Redhill, Surrey, in July 1943, to VE-Day almost two years later, 126 Wing scored more victories than any other Allied air force, and its pilots were among the war's most decorated."

Story of a Canadian fighter wing,

This review is from: Invasions Without Tears: The Story of Canada's Top-Scoring Spitfire Wing in Europe During the Second World War (Hardcover)
This book is quite informative in that it gives one a better perspective on the workings of a Canadian fighter wing in the European Air War, and just what a price that Canadians paid in their contribution to the demise of the Luftwaffe. If I remember correctly, the turn-over rate for pilots with this wing was well over 100% from the time the unit arrived in France (a few days following D-Day) until the end of the war. A contribution worth remembering, thus a book that should be read.
