NZ Spitfire Ace Obituary

[Smithy]

Very nice of The Times to run an obituary for one of NZ's finest fighter pilots, Jack Rae, who died at the end of last year...

Anyone interested to know more about his life would do well to pick up his wonderful memoir "Kiwi Spitfire Ace" which is a great read.

Whenever I read these I am reminded just how quickly these guys are passing- particularly as I see some of them weekly at the moment.

Thanks for the link to the book Tim, i'll put that one on my must get reading list.

Definitely do pick up a copy Andrew. It's a wonderful book and fascinating as well. It's published by Grub Street (surprise!) and is fairly common back home.
