I finally got my hands on a copy of "Highest traditions" which is a history of 2 sqn RAAF. This squadron has had a long and proud history, fighting in WWI (94 kills), WWII flying Hudson, Beaufort B25 missions against the Japanese. Post war they flew Lincoln bombers and eventually Canberra's over Vietnam, where they flew something like 12000 sorties! They now operate Wedgetail AEW&C which is outside of the scope of this book as it published in the 90's. Anyway, I'm excited
Scored on ebay, for some decent prices! The Typhoon and Tempest Story, for less than half price than at Amazon and the Hawker Typhoon and Hawker Tempest a third of the price at the same place, not too bad...
seriously I would be interested in what if any info's on Tempest NZ sqdn 486th in 1945 in the books, they took on JG 301 several times during that year.
