What is the best and most comprehensive book about the Supermarine Spitfire ever?
I’m talking hardcover coffee table size etc.

Viking-S

Spitfire.. The History! Hardback, 634 pages..
ISBN 0-946219-10-9.
'As definitive a history of the Spitfire as is ever to be written'
Comprehensive history of every single mark of Spit, with stacks of b/w photos, illustrations and coloured plates.. Find it, get it!

Regards.. Dave S.

If you can get hold of it "Sigh for a Merlin" by Alex Crenshaw http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0859790924/102-4718010-7086517?v=glance&n=283155 one of my fave aerial books.

Alex was the chief test pilot at Castle Bromwich, so it is a book straight from the horses mouth.Good reading.

I don't know if there is a single 'best' or comprehensive book on the craft. Depends what you like to read

Thanks Jim that one looks good mate

Whoa!
”Spitfire the history” just arrived with the mail and it’s HUUGE!
Thanks for the recommendation as it seems to be just what I was looking for.
Get back to you all as soon as I read it, with my present time schedule that will be early autumn.
