Description

Typhoon and Tempest: The Canadian Story is a great tribute to the Canadians who flew and serviced these magnificent aircraft during the Second World War. As well, it offers a detailed look at the formation and operations of No. 143 Wing (RCAF), a component of Second Tactical Air Force, in the battles from Normandy to the defeat of Germany.
The author has relied heavily on the Operational Record Books of the Canadian squadrons involved. These are quoted at length and provide the backbone of the book. In addition, the ORBs have been supplemented by primary research in Canada and the U.K. along with interviews of surviving Typhoon and Tempest pilots.
