Spitfire into Battle
G. Capt. Duncan Smith
DSO DFC RAF
I recommend this book to everybody, but specially to my fine companions in BoB and Malta Campaigns.
It's a very lively and first hand biography of someone who's been there and lived it all.
Some of his battles real resemble our AAR's.
What I liked the best:
The way Spitfires are portrayed.
The air combat descriptions.
The campaigns he's been through.
The perception this book gives us of the air war.
What I liked less:
He's a man from the establishment so very rarely there's a critic about someone or some decision done by the allies.
