The Malta story in world war 2 is an amazing story of guts, bravery, starvation, determination, siege fortitude and resolution at the highest standards of human experience and endeavour. The air war is but a part but, as fascinating and compelling as any other aspect.. and the fairey albacore. another fascinating aeroplane.
Malta during WWII (1940-45) was the British Empire's airfield to bomb Italy and Tunisia,and of vital importance for the landings in Sicily and Calabria.

Thank you for the people of Malta and Operation Pedestal that shortened the war !
I'd love to know what Squadron this is. My Great Uncle was a Albacore pilot with 821 NAS in Malta in '43.
Very interesting Albacore video.
