The narrative description and condensed history of the Spitfire's
construction, combat career and post-war service, bought together to
tell the complete, concise history of the world's most famous aircraft
of all time and undoubtedly the finest fighter of World War II. When
Spitfire at War first appeared in 1974, it enjoyed critical acclaim, for
the aircraft had never been described in such terms and detail before.
It was followed by a second volume in 1985 and a third volume in 1990.
All three volumes sold well and are hailed as classic works on the
subject. These important works have been out of print for more than a
decade, thereby denying them to the current breed of aviation buffs. The
time has come to re-issue the three books as a single volume, the author
'cherry-picking' the choice cuts to produce the finest title on the
mighty and beloved Spitfire.
