In 1940, the strategically vital island of Malta was Britain's last
toehold in the central Mediterranean, wreaking havoc among Axis
shipping. Launching an air campaign to knock Malta out of the war,
first Italy and then Germany sought to force a surrender or reduce
the defences enough to allow an invasion. Drawing on original
documents, multilingual aviation analyst Ryan Noppen explains how
technical and tactical problems caused the original Italian air
campaign of 1940-41 to fail, and then how the German intervention
came close to knocking Malta out of the war. Using stunning full
colour artwork, this fascinating book explains why the attempt by
the Axis powers to take the British colony of Malta ultimately
failed.
