One of the absolute best NZ first-hand accounts ( sadly out-of-print ) is 'Spitfire Patrol' by Colin Gray, DSO, DFC who was WWII's top-scoring NZ 'ace' and flew with 54 Squadron throughout the Battle of Britain. he was originally from Christchurch, NZ and his book ( published by Hutchinson in 1990 ) is a BofB 'must'.
Another one that I've never seen is 'New Zealanders With The Royal Air Force' published by the NZ Government in 3 volumes, 1953-1956.
