Malta Spitfire Vs - 1942: Their Colours and Markings (White)

In the desperate battle for Malta in 1941-2, when German and Italian bombers pounded the island, the arrival of Spitfire Vs helped turn the tables in favor of the Allies. Flown from RN and USN carriers, and some even direct from Gibraltar, the Spitfires significantly enhanced the defenses. For many years arguments have raged about the precise color schemes carried by these aircraft – in this new book Brian Cauchi looks at all the evidence, from photos and personal memories through to surviving parts of these aircraft, and presents his personal interpretation of the many color schemes, official and otherwise, carried by these hard-pressed and hardworking warplanes. REVIEWS For anyone interested in the air war in the Mediterranean or interesting Spitfire camouflages, this is an excellent book to have.Internet Modeler
