5.0 out of 5 stars
Osprey at Their Best
Osprey books are reliable, though some may find minor picky points of disagreement. But for the general reader, like me, these books are outstanding. I love the Spitfire. These books have provided me with hours of reading pleasure--and with a wealth of information. A MUST HAVE.

Famous fighter and the aces who flew it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spitfire Mark V Aces 1941-1945 (Osprey Aircraft of the Aces No 16) (Paperback)
This 96 page soft cover book gives an overview of this famous British WWII fighter and the aces who flew it.Separate chapters cover development, modification and operational use in North-West Europe, Malta, North Africa and other areas including Australia. There is a chapter on aerial warfare tactics which gives a facinating insight into the practical problems and solutions employed by an ace in Malta. The problem of overclaiming by pilots the number of enemy aircraft shot down is illustrated in the chapter dealing primarily with operations in Northern Australia. The last chapter gives an operational biography of the top 12 Spitfire Mk V aces. The text is well illustrated with colour paintings, scale drawings and a large number of rarely seen b/w photos. The 12 pages of colour paintings depicts individual aces aircraft in profile and ace pilots in flying gear. I was disappointed by the lack of an index and bibliography/reference. I recommend this book to readers who have an interest in aviation and/or WWII in general.

This review is from: Spitfire Mark V Aces 1941-1945 (Osprey Aircraft of the Aces No 16) (Paperback)
A Fantastic compilation history of this Beautiful British WWII Fighter, it's variants and the brave men who flew her. An Osprey publication too, what could be better?
