Description
Pre-owned but in excellent condition. Three of the high speed launches, 107, 128 and 129, were subjected to enemy attack with HSL 128 being targeted on five occasions. However, the most vicious attack was carried out on HSL 129, which resulted in mortally wounded crew members. Sadly today nothing survives of the once proud RAF Station Kalafrana sited within Marsaxlokk Bay, as following the withdrawal of the British Forces from Malta, the area was commercially developed into a large container terminal. The author, Frederick Galea, is one of a small band of researcher/writers who spends his free time delving into Malta’s rich wartime aviation history. Together with friends of similar interests he was involved on a voluntary basis in the setting up of the War Museum at Valletta and the Aviation Museum at Ta’ Qali. Some minor scuffing and bumping to corners, and a small stain to rear top cover. Tight and clean copy. Softcover. Published by Malta At War Publications 2002
