5.0 out of 5 stars
A brilliantly illustrated treatise with excellent text.,
By defiant@netcom.ca (St Catharines, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spitfire: The Canadians (Hardcover)
This is a beautifully illustrated book, with many personal stories of Canadian Spitfire pilots. Certain tactics used by the Spitfire pilots are also detailed, giving the reader an insight into the aircrafts capabilities. The photographs are quite unique, and most will be new to the reader, even if you are ( like me ) a Spitaholic, with numerous Spitfire tomes on your shelves. The colour plates are some of the finest I've EVER seen, boasting great detail and depicting a comprehensive crossection of wartime marks, from the Mk I to the mighty Mk XIV. This is not JUST a great book for people interested in Canadiana; it is also a superb book for anyone with a general to deep interest in the Spitfire or aviation. Highly Recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Canadians and Spitfires a marriage made in heaven,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spitfire: The Canadians (Hardcover)
What can I tell ya...its's got Spitfires and Canadians!!! Actually, this is a wonderful text containing various Canadian memories of the Spitfire in WWII with a few post-war Isreali adventures thrown in for good measure. The book is richly illustrated with photographs and artistic renderings of this most beautiful of aircraft. Of special note is the rich detail provided on every Spitfire featured and the inclusion of 5 plates denoting various colour schemes used by the RAF and RCAF. Model builders looking for authentic schemes in their creations will find this text invaluable. See more reviews at the "WWII Aviation Booklist"
