Spitfire Mark I/II Aces 1939-41, Dr Alfred Price. Slightly different to many books in the Aircraft of the Aces series, Price splits his material, concentrating on the wider picture in the first part of the book before looking at eleven of the top Spitfire aces in the last two chapters of the book [see more] |

Spitfire Mark V Aces, 1941-45, Dr Alfred Price. A well written and nicely balanced look at the combat career of the Spitfire Mk V and of the men who flew it. The Spitfire V fought in more theatres than the more famous Mk I/II, including over France in 1941, on Malta, in North Africa and even in northern Australia. [see more] |

| Spitfire in Action, Jerry Scutts. This is a good introduction to the complex story of the development of the Spitfire. Despite the title, this book doesn't contain much detail on the actual combat career of the Spitfire, but does cover every version of the fighter from the prototype to the post-war Mk 24, as well as the Seafire line [see more] |
