Malta in World War II DVD
The Second World was a mid 20th century conflict that engulfed much of the globe. Between June 1940 and December 1943, Malta was one of the most bombed places on earth. Whoever controls Malta controls the Meditterenea, because of the simple truth the island was strategically important to the Axis and the Allies alike. Malta became the besieged and battered arena for the victory in North Africa and the subsequent invasion of Southern Europe. This documentary is both informative and full with original footage, vividly portrays why the island was awarded the George Cross..

The Malta Story

A no-frills account on DVD or VHS Video tape of the siege of the mediterranean island of Malta during WW2. Most of the action is seen through the eyes of a very young Alec Guinness, a reconnaissance photographer stranded on Malta en route to Egypt. While on the island he romances a local girl in between hazardous flying missions. Much weight is given to the courage of the islanders in the face of appalling hardships, for which the island was awarded the George Cross by the British.

    Call-Out

    A most important wartime role carried out by Royal Air Force personnel was that of Air/Sea Rescue, that is the saving of lives of airmen who, for one reason or another were forced to ditch their aircraft, or bale out of it, and end up in the sea.

    Sadly today nothing survives of the once proud RAF Station Kalafrana sited within Marsaxlokk Bay, as following the withdrawal of the British Forces from Malta, the area was commercially developed into a large container terminal.

    The author, Frederick Galea, is one of a small band of researcher/writers who spends his free time delving into Malta’s rich wartime aviation history. Together with friends of similar interests he was involved on a voluntary basis in the setting up of the War Museum at Valletta and the Aviation Museum at Ta’ Qali.

    The World's Great Fighters

    The World's Great Fighters - From 1914 to the present day

    Since its arrival in action over the battlefields of World War I, the fighter has developed into one of the most potent and versatile weapons of war, whether launched from an airfield or from the heaving deck of an aircraft carrier. The World's Great Fighters traces the history of this warplane from flimsy 'kite' to high-performance jet, explaining why some designs turned out to be winners while others proved to be catastrophic. The book discusses their development, their equipment and avionics, their combat capabilities, and the innovations that set them apart from the rest. Besides the 80 photographs, The World's Great Fighters is illustrated with 100 full-colour artworks, each accompanied by a specifications table giving details of the aircraft's dimensions, weight, range, speed, payload, crew and country of origin.
