Faith, Hope And Charity – The Defence Of Malta By Kenneth Poolman

Faith, Hope and Charity is the story of three Gladiator biplanes flown by six volunteers from their base on Malta. Kept airworthy by the resourcefulness of the servicemen who toiled night and day to manufacture spare parts and keep the runway fit to fly on, the aircraft flew constantly in a desperate bid to save the island. This defence of Malta can justifiably be included among the epics of World War II and the part played by three biplanes is symbolic of the courage and endurance displayed by the people of Malta who gave their lives during the struggle against vastly superior Axis Air Forces
