It is now more than 40 years since "Fighters over the Desert" was
published, and nearly as long since this was followed by "Fighters
over Tunisia". Both volumes have long been out of print and
collectors' items, but, despite much prompting, Christopher Shores
has resolutely refused to permit their reprinting until he amassed
so much more information. He has also long nursed a desire to
expand the coverage to encompass the operations of the other types
of aircraft involved in this interesting and important theatre of
war - the bombers, reconnaissance aircraft and maritime units.
Further, it is his intention to extend the period covered to
include the later operations over Sicily, Italy, the Aegean area,
the Balkans and Southern Europe. This then represents the first
volume of a seminal series dealing with all these aspects and
areas, which will also tie in with the earlier 'Grub Street'
volumes which he and his collaborators have produced. Thus a full
coverage of all aspects of aerial operations throughout the whole
of the Mediterranean area will be the ultimate result. Further,
these volumes will link appropriately and directly with his other
works of this nature, dealing both with the Far East and the war in
Europe. Readers will then be able to follow the wartime careers of
units and personnel involved from volume to volume throughout the
war. Operations directly over the main battlefronts will be dealt
with as previously, on a daily basis. However, to allow a clearer
view to be obtained of operations elsewhere in the theatre, or of a
different nature, separate chapters will deal specifically with the
night bombers, the air defence of the base areas, and the naval
co-operation activities. Wide use of maps will be made throughout
this and subsequent volumes together with a considerable number of
photographs integrated into the text. Long awaited by many, if any
work can be said to be comprehensive and definitive, this is it.
