Re: Spitfire F.21 losses 1945
Along with problems in the Canadian airframe industry in dealing wuth all-metal designs (as witnessed by CCF's pain in trying to transition from Hurricanes to the SBW/A-25, events which saw the only female senior executive in the industry get the sack), they tried to make the Canadian-built ones have a lighter structure to save weight for radars and other add-ons not envisioned in the original PBY design in the Dark Ages.
BTW, I fear I do not have your current e-mail, so could you send me one at davidisbyATgmail.com
best,
