Canadians flew Spitfires in over a dozen RCAF fighter squadrons and in RAF squadrons in every theatre of war. These are the first-person accounts of Canadians who saw that action first-hand. According to Wing Commander James E. "Stocky" Edwards, "Canadian Spitfire pilots were among the best in the Allied Air Forces. The Spitfire seem made for Canadians. It matched their confident and aggressive spirit."
