Excerpt: Malta Story is a 1953 black and white war film based on the heroic defence of Malta, the island itself, its people and the RAF aviators who fought to defend it. The film uses real and unique footage of the locations at which the battles were fought and includes a love story that ends with the death of the hero (a RAF pilot) and the execution of a young Maltese man who became an Italian spy. In 1942, Britain is trying hard to keep Malta while invasion seems imminent and Italians and Germans are regularly bombing the airfields and towns regardless. The RAF fight to survive against the odds using the few planes available. Flight Lt. Peter Ross, an archaeologist, is posted to Egypt but is stranded in Malta due to the air attacks. He is then asked to join the RAF squadron there as an air reconnaissance pilot. He meets Maria, a lovely Maltese girl working in the RAF operations room. The two fall in love and spend a few romantic hours in the Neolithic temples of Mnajdra and aar Qim on the island. In the meantime, the situation becomes desperate. Many civilians are buried daily under the rubble, and famine is threatening their survival, as relief convoys become easy prey to the numerous attacks by air. Peter proposes marriage to Maria although they realise that wartime is not favourable to love affairs, as her mother suggests. Nevertheless the young couple remain hopeful of the future. In the meantime, Marias brother is arrested while trying to infiltrate the island from Italy, obviously on a spying mission, for which he will be executed (which is based on the real story of Carmelo Borg Pisani)....http: //booksllc.net/?id=6231202
