Description: In 1940, Mussolini coveted Italian domination of the Mediterranean. In his way stood the small, poorly defended, British-held island of Malta. Over the next two years the Axis powers attempted to win air supremacy over the island. When the Italians proved unable to subdue the island, the Luftwaffe sent X Fliegerkorps and later Luftflotte 2 to assist.Ryan Noppen explains the technical and tactical capabilities of the air forces involved, how the broader strategic context affected the Axis' Malta campaigns, and why, on the brink of success, the campaign finally stalled.Illustrated with Black & white photos, color photos, maps, and color plates. Brand new, unused condition.
