Spits Against the Rising Sun!
Numerous RAAF and RAF squadrons, utilizing a variety of Spitfire models, saw combat over Australia, Burma and India in World War II. Given the limited opportunities for air combat in those theaters, only a handful of Spit pilots became aces. Andrew Thomas examines the combat ops flown by those pilots along with the Spitfire's overall contribution to victory in the Pacific in this interesting 2009 Osprey 'Aircraft of the Aces' volume, #87 in the series.
