Book excerpt: Mikael Forslund has over written twenty books and his latest book on Spitfire in Sweden was the 80th anniversary of the first flight of the aircraft type March 5, 1936. The book is structured chronologically and begins with a plane crash by a British Spitfire aircraft in Funäsdalen during the war. In addition, if the attempt to buy the type of aircraft during World War II and a visit to the Spitfire aircraft in Sweden after the war. emphasis of the book is obviously on the purchase of 50 Spitfire Mk. XIX reconnaissance aircraft to F 11 in Nyköping labeled S 31. We can have access to the service in the Air Force for pilots and technical descriptions and failures accompanied with drawings, charts, and color profiles. A recurring theme in the book is killing the myth and the explanation of why the S 31 never had white numbers. In one chapter, we get the story of the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Air Force Museum S 31 Spitfire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Supermarine Spitfire was a classic design, well known for its efforts in defending British shores during the Second World War. However, while Reginald Mitchell is rightly celebrated for his original design of the Spitfire, the role of Joe Smith in the development of the Spitfire is often overlooked. Smith was an integral member of the design team from the earliest days, and on Mitchell’s death in 1937 he was appointed design office manager before becoming chief designer. Smith’s dedicated leadership in the development of the Spitfire during the war, as well as his efforts on post-war jet aircraft, deserve their place in history. Charting the fascinating history of Supermarine from 1913 to 1958, when the company ceased its operations in Southampton, shortly after Joe Smith’s death in 1956, this book tells its story through the eyes of apprentices and many other members of Smith’s team. Marvellous photographs add to the sense of what it was like to work under Joe Smith at the drawing boards of one of Britain’s most famous wartime aviation manufacturers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills a gap in the existing literature on the Second World War by covering the range of challenges, threats, issues, dilemmas, and changes faced and dealt with by Sweden during the conflict.Interest in Sweden's wartime experiences has increased due to its post-war profile as a neutral that both allowed German troops to transit through its territory and also carried on trading with the Nazi regime during the holocaust years. Many misconceptions and false impressions have arisen and persisted as a result of deliberate misinformation and concealment by all sides during that time. Readers of this book will gain a fresh, broad view of the period, personalities and problems from a Swedish orientation.
