I purchased a newly released book, Fittall The Flyer. I am looking forward to receiving my copy. It’s about New Zealand fighter pilot Vaughn Fittall who flew mainly Typhoons in WW2,before becoming a test pilot for D. Napier & Son.
You can check out the book and Vaughan’s story on author Toby Butland's website at

If you buy a copy you’ll be donating $5 to the New Zealand RSA (Returned and Services Association).
The book also includes a foreword from Sir Tim Wallis, founder of New Zealand’s famous Warbirds Over Wanaka air show. It’s written for 5-9 year olds and contains loads of interesting information on New Zealand’s war effort. I know I read at a slightly higher level, but I could not resist getting a copy as the price is pretty good too.
