These photographs tell this story in a way that only pictures can. Aircrew, aircraft – both ready for action and destroyed, gun crews, demolished streets, surviving churches, searchlights and tracer at night time, and yet more destruction, battleships, submarines and freighters in harbour and offshore, farm scenes, people in and out of uniform and unexploded bombs.

Description
The Siege of Malta during World War II was one of the greatest dramas of the conflict. Bereft of vital defending aircraft, guns and ammunition this small island endured a succession of air raids from the Italian and German air forces. Valetta was virtually destroyed, the inhabitants took to living in the hills and caves as their houses lay in ruins. Food was scarce and the islands only salvation and survival depended on the arrival of the Allied convoys which themselves were constantly under attack as they dodged their way across hostile Mediterranean seas. This book contains unseen photographs taken during the siege and dramatically show what life was like for the population and the troops and pilots who so valiantly defended Malta
