Commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Battle of Malta
Pilot Officer John Bisley of 126 Squadron in combat with Me
109s from JG-53 during one of the intense aerial air battles
over Valetta in April 1942. Between the summer of 1940 and
the end of 1942, Malta became one of the most bombed places
on earth. The RAF’s desperate fight to retain control of the
diminutive Mediterranean island, and the defiant courage of
the people of Malta, is one of the epic stories of World War
Two.
Signed by Six Pilots who flew
Spitfires in defence of Malta.
Issued with Companion print: HMS
ILLUSTRIOUS signed by 3 additional pilots.
