The Supermarine Spitfire Mk. XVI: The definitive operational history 1944-1945
The Spitfire XVI is one of the Spitfire marks to have been so far little covered in depth. It was actually a Mk. IX powered with an American built Packard engine but otherwise it was very familiar to a Mk IX. Used in the fighter-bomber role, from the UK with the Fighter Command or from the Continent with the 2 TAF, one of the main tasks given to the XVI would be the destruction of the V-2 sites located in Holland. This book gives the details of the operations carried out in 1944 and 1945 by all the combat squadrons and wings - mainly Nos 127 (RCAF), 131 (Polish) and 145 (French) Wings - and highlighting the men who led them. Illustrated with 120 photos and 28 colour profiles.
