Hello,

In my opinion, Brian Cull’s “aircraft type books” (Hurricanes over Tobruk, Spitfires over Sicily, Hurricanes over Malta, Buffalos Over Singapore and Hurricanes Over Singapore) are in some ways disappointing and in some ways interesting.

The disappointing is that they doesn’t covers much “new” info – the Singapore books are mostly covered in Bloody Shambles pt. 1-2 (with C. Shores et al) and the Malta book is mostly covered in the Malta books written together with C. Shores et al. They also doesn’t uses much info from the opposing forces (i.e Japanese, Italian and German).

The interesting points are the rich amount of RAF and Commonwealth pilot interviews (unfortunately almost none with opposing pilots), which are used to give more “flesh” to the books and in this view, they are definitely worth the read and a nice complement to Shores books.
