Spitfire Aces of the Channel Front 1941-1943, Andrew Thomas, Osprey, 96pp, illus, sbk, £13.99 - excellently helmed by FlyPast feature writer Andrew Thomas, the latest in this long-running series presents detailed histories of elite fighter pilots and the Spitfires they flew. More than 110 pilots claimed at least five 'kills' over the Channel Front between 1941 and 1943, as RAF fighter technology raced to keep up with the Luftwaffe. The text is supported by around 30 colour artworks, new scale plans and fascinating archival photography. The material is further enhanced via first-hand accounts from the combat veterans themselves.
