US Squads assigned Spitfires
 
Hello Fellas,
I need some help. Im looking for a list of US squads that were assigned to fly spitfires. Any help would be appreciated.

You could get "American Spitfire Aces of World War 2" by Andrew Thomas (Osprey) which should give you what you want as far as fighter variants are concerned.

Or, better still, the two books on American Spitfires published by Ventura some years ago.
