Hi Mal

The SCARY thing isn't just "Were there any aces?" - but, "****!, look how many there were!"

If ever you need a book showing how great pilots flying obsolete aircraft can still achieve astonishing results against the odds... ths is it!

I could go through the Appendices to give everyone a list, but no... get the book.

All the best

Rowan

What is a real pity as well, is that no one has done a really good kit of this beautiful aircraft... This is one that really deserves kitting-out in 1/32nd scale...Jim
