About the Author:
Jane’s 'At the Controls' reveals what it was like to fly and fight in the Supermarine Spitfire. There have been many histories of the Spitfire, but the 'At the Controls' series puts you in the cockpit, revealing why the Spitfire was such an outstanding fighter. Aviation expert David Oliver describes how a typical interception mission was performed during the Battle of Britain, the best way for a Spitfire to shoot down a German bomber, what to do, and what not to d, when tangling with a Messerschmitt Bf-109. This is a completely fresh look at the only British fighter to remain in production throughout World War II.
David Oliver is a prolific aviation author.
