Description: The Spitfire was deployed to Egypt at a time of crisis and helped counter the Luftwaffe's superiority during the critical battles up to and beyond El Alamein. Thereafter, further Spitfire units were landed in French North Africa, where they took a heavy toll of the enemy in the bitter fighting that followed as they wrested air superiority from German and Italian fighter units until the final Axis surrender in North Africa in May 1943. Close to 100 aces either attained this status or added to their scores when flying Spitfires during the North African and Italian campaigns. Nine pages of color profile drawings.Brand new, unused condition.
