Hell Island,
By Bernard (Detroit, MI USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hell Island: Canadian Pilots and the 1942 Air Battle for Malta (Hardcover)
I am very interested in WWII history in general, and Malta in particular, but this book was a bit disappointing. It is thoroughly researched, in terms of "Capt xxx of Squadron xx shot down Lt Werner Schmidt of JG87 at 4:45pm" etc, but as a pilot, I don't think the author knows much about aircraft, so the narrative has more of a "daily newspaper" tone than an aviation history tone. I would have liked to read more about actual aircraft operations, written by an expert.Also, by the way, it's not really specifically only about Canadian pilots, which is OK with me, and the title 'Hell Island' is unfortunate: my Maltese friends were somewhat offended. |
