Re: Malta Aircraft Defence
Quote:
The Spitfires did have oxygen tanks installed as standard. However there were several instances during 1943 where the tanks had not been filled (reasons unknown) prior to a mission flown, which caused several deaths, including Sq. Ld. Thorold-Smith on 15-3-1943. There were also a number of sorties abandoned by pilots due to oxygen failure. An excellent book covering No.1 Wing RAAF operations over Darwin is titled 'Darwin Spitfires', by Anthony Cooper.
