Great info Ed, I have a question concerning a captured German plane that possibly was flown by Canadians. Maybe the author have info on it.

Sorry to say but better save your money: This book does not provide anything that could be expected by its title. Basic source appears to be Phil Butler's excellent "War Prizes" book, but unfortunately mixed-up with lots of obviously unchecked data from internet and author's guessing resulting into lots of errors.

What a pity! Reading the resume it looks as the author is publishing extracts from e/a reports...
