| book description |

The ultimate ""hands on"" guide to the Supermarine Spitfire, the famous fighter plane from the Battle of Britain. At the Controls takes you on a typical interceptor mission. Spectacular artwork and photographs support a vivid text that takes you step by step through the flight. This is not yet another history of the Spitfire. At the Controls reveals what it was like to fly and fight in this outstanding aircraft, where to aim to bring down an enemy bomber, why you never followed a Messerschmitt Bf-109 down to low level and how to break off a fight when your fuel ran low. Based on extensive interviews with veteran pilots, this is a revolutionary account of Britain's greatest wartime fighter plane.
