Minimum Donation €34.25

The island of Malta was vital in any Mediterranean campaign in World War II. From this British bastion, Allied bombers, submarines and surface ships attacked and sank many of Rommel’s supply ships. This text describes the attacks made from Malta. Tony Spooner, himself among the attackers, recounts the exploits of heroes such as Adrian Warburton and Patrick Gibbs in the air and Captain Agnew of HMS Aurora and David Wanklyn VC on, and beneath the sea. He also documents the key role that ULTRA intelligence played and adds an extra dimension by including the opinions expressed at the time by enemy leaders and the judgements of post-war German and Italian historians
