| So far as I know the Typhoon was only deployed with the British 2nd TAF in the ETO. But I don't have any really definite knowledge about that.

| Thanks for the help but think I figured out the answer. Was talking with another history geek and he mentioned a book written by a RAF pilot that flew spit's in Italy then went on to fly the typhoon. So I'm probably thinking of that. Can't even remember what I did last week, but usually can remember a book I read years ago.

  | Yes, we are History Nerds. Buffs make money. Geeks are just loser that are dumb, I often refer to them as wannabe Nerds.

| Plenty of arguments are pointless. Plenty of arguments are valid (in case no one has noticed, I enjoy a good argument as much as anyone). And I can make plenty of funnies.
