Synopsis
The fascinating story of the Germans' and Italians' great aerial siege of the British colony of Malta, one of the longest air campaigns of World War II, alongside superb, specially commissioned artwork, 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 defenses 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 color artwork, this fascinating book explains why the attempt by the Axis powers to take the British colony of Malta ultimately failed., The fascinating story of the Germans' and Italians' great aerial siege of the British colony of Malta, one of the longest air campaigns of World War II, alongside superb, specially commissioned artwork In 1940, the strategically vital island of Malta was Britain's last toehold in the central Mediterranean, wreaking havoc among Axis shipping.

    This item exceeded my expectations. Vendor had a hard-to-find model I have been a long time looking for, along with two bonus models to go with it. Description photos were adequate. All are complete and in new condition. Packaging was to notch, and delivery was fast. Am very satisfied and will do business with this vendor in the future. Thanks again.

    Good General Survey of the Axis Air Campaigns

    An excellent short history of the Axis attempts to deal with Great Britain’s Mediterranean Fleet base at Malta without confronting it directly. Especially good in uncovering the difficulties faced by the Regia Aeronautica Italiana (RAI) from aero engines to airframes, logistics, ordnance, and doctrine. The text does a solid job of explaining the reasons the RAI had so little success in its operations, and the Deutsches Luftwaffe (Luftwaffe) comparatively better. The superior organisation, doctrinal development, aircraft and ordnance technology, and manufacturing sophistication, enjoyed by the Luftwaffe and denied the RAI, are spelled out clearly. Of course, so is the RAI’s growing appreciation of Malta as a strategically vital objective, and the overall Italian appreciation for the ...
