Re: Australian Spitfires

Of course, here it be:

'Ketchil' - (A New Zealand pilot's war in Asia and the Pacific) by Neil Francis published by Wairarapa Archive, New Zealand, 2005. Now in second printing.

ISBN 0-9582617-0-9

Wairarapa Archive
79 Queen Street
Masterton
New Zealand

Also may still be available via the Aviation Bookshop in the UK:

http://www.aviation-bookshop.com/hub.htm

(The Aviation Bookshop is a very reliable retailer with excellent, friendly service)

Recommended for anyone interested in Buffalos and Burma with some excellent first time published photographs from private collections (Buffalos a plenty, Hurricanes & AVG P-40s). Mr Francis wrote the biography in close association with Vic Bargh and there are some real gems within. Bargh witnessed the Schilling/Brandt dogfight and makes some interesting comments about it and about RAF Buffalos. Also interesting comments about 'Bloody Shambles' from one who was there.
