"...she has definitely bought into the Spitfire Myth"
Given Ms.Moore's credentials, this seems surprising - didn't the Hurricane account for some 70% of the RAF shoot-downs during the Battle of Britain? Anyway, this looks to be an unusually well written resource, and new to me! Thanks for the review.
