Notă biografică

Dr Alfred Price served as an aircrew officer in the Royal Air Force, where he was a crewman on Vulcan bombers and specialized in electronic warfare and air fighting tactics.  In a military flying career spanning fifteen years he logged over 4,000 flying hours.  He left the service in 1974 and since then has been a full-time writer on aviation subjects.  He is author or co-author of some thirty full-length books, including 'Spitfire at War' and "The Spitfire Story'.  He has also had numerous magazine articles published.  He holds a PhD in history from Loughborough University and is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

Paul Blackah joined RAF in 1976 and trained as an airframe fitter.  In 1993 he was posted to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) and remained with that unit until he retired from full time service in 2002.  His specialized knowledge of vintage aircraft, and in particular the Spitfire, was considered so valuable to the Flight that he was taken into the RAF as a reservist, working as a Chief Technician in the BBMF.
