Malta the Unbeatable Aircraft Carrier of World War II
Malta endured over three thousand air raid alarms before November 1942 and shot down 1,128 enemy planes, earning fame as a formidable Mediterranean air base. Flying Officer George Beurling, Canada's leading air hero with 29 Axis planes destroyed, toured Western Canada recently. Malta’s location 58 miles south of Sicily and 180 miles north of Africa, its 95 square miles, and its harbor at Valetta underscore its strategic role as a naval and air hub in World War II. The island’s history traces to 1000 B.C. with Phoenician settlers and, since 1814, as a British dependency administered from a resident governor.
