"Authored by RAF officer and researcher Andrew Thomas, Tomahawk and Kittyhawk Aces of the RAF and Commonwealth is packed with engaging descriptions, contemplative facts, and interesting details in 112 pages. Combat reports and personal narratives fill the book. Pilots' accounts bring their war to life. Almost every page features at least one photograph, many revealing fascinating detail for the modeler and historian." --Fred Boucher, Aeroscale
