During the years preceding and during WW2, the RAF and the Royal
Aircraft Establishment were responsible for the selection and
procurement of British military aircraft and also to evaluate their
capabilities against captured enemy models whenever possible.
During the lend-lease agreement with the USA, the RAF and Fleet Air
Arm operated several American designs, each of which was tested to
evaluate its potential. This book looks at the key area of fighter
aircraft and includes the test results and pilot's own first-hand
accounts of flying seventeen different models, designed in the UK,
America and Germany. The reader will learn of the possibilities of
air superiority offered by these types and also their weaknesses.
Types included are The Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire,
Boulton Paul Defiant, Hawker Tempest and Typhoon, Bell Airacobra,
Messerschmitt Bf 109, Focke-Wulf Fw 190, Brewster Buffalo, Curtiss
Tomahawk, North American Mustang, Grumman Martlet, Republic
Thunderbolt, and Vought Corsair. All aircraft that saw a great deal
of action throughout the War and which are now part of legend.
