Christer, Mr Shores's "Fighter over Desert" and "Fighter over Tunise" were excellent books, but you shall remember those two books were published in 60's and 70's, and I believe at that time, Mr Shores did not use any Italian source, so in this two books,the operations of Italian airforce were always in the shadow, so it was too soon to judge the efficiency of Italian airforce by these two books.
Mr Shores's later books would be different, have you read his "Dust Clouds in the Middle East", "Malta, the Hurricunce year" and "Malta, the Spitfire year" ? in those books, he would use sources from all of those took part into the battles: British, German and Italian.
