Ultimate Spitfires
A look at the development and flight testing of the Griffon-powered Spitfires and Seafires, along with an operational history both during and after WWII. The Spitfire is probably Britain’s best loved and admired airplane. It is also revered around the world. This book looks at the later marques that were modified for various special tasks and differed to a large degree from Supermarine’s first early versions that saw action in the early days of World War II. New and more powerful Rolls-Royce engines replaced the well-tried Merlin, but increased the aircrafts performance in terms of speed and operational altitude. Subtle changes to wing design also increased the maneuverability and capability of these spectacular models that survived in the operational role until superseded by the introduction of jet-powered flight. The content explains the design details, development and flight testing of twelve models and also contains their operational roles and history. Lengthy appendices will include Griffon-powered Spitfire aces, V1 rocket destruction aces, Griffon-powered Spitfire losses and where the survivors can be found. “If you have an interest in the design, development and combat history of the Spitfire, this publication will be of great interest and make a fine addition to your library. Recommended for the Spitfire enthusiast.” —IPMS/USA Reviews “For the technical enthusiast, you’ll find lots of numbers and analysis of systems and flight characteristics.” —Historical Miniatures Gaming Society

Richard B. Seager excavated the Minoan town and cemetery at Pseira in 1906-1907, but the work was not fully published. The Temple University excavations (1985-1994) under the direction of Philip P. Betancourt and Costis Davaras conducted an intensive surface survey of the island. The results of the survey on the small island off the northeast coast of Crete are published in two volumes. Pseira VIII presents the results from the corollary studies that accompany the surface survey. Pseira IX presents the results from the intensive surface survey.
