They have the best covers. I would buy a book that featured all the covers.

Terry,

This is a very interesting and informative summary of the Spitfire XII: development, use (service time), missions, etc. It summarizes the history of the two main units (41 and 91 Squadron) that used it (Squadron usage); victories and losses on the Spitfire XII for both units (with dates, serial numbers and codes). A brief history of the second-line units that used the Spitfire XII. A simplified register of assignments according to serial numbers (engine type: Griffon III or IV, delivery date, units, and code). Several photos (aircrafts and pilots) and two profiles.
A very interesting book well condensed; 30 pages but very precise and precious...
Personally, this book helped me resolve my problem regarding the Spitfire XII MB831 flown by R. H. Harries during the summer of 1943. Curiously/oddly, it seems that this Spitfire had two different codes between May and September 1943 within 91 Sqn...
