A HISTORY OF
THE MEDITERRANEAN AIR WAR, 1940-1945:
VOLUME ONE. NORTH AFRICA JUNE 1940-JANUARY
1942
by Christopher Shores & Giovanni
Massimello
Following on from
Christopher Shores original work, 'Fighters
over the Desert', this is the first volume
of a seminal series covering all aspects of
aerial operations throughout the whole of
the Mediterranean area. Operations directly
over the main battlefronts are dealt with on
a daily basis, however, to allow a clearer
view to be obtained of operations elsewhere
in the theatre, separate chapters deal
specifically with night bombers, the air
defence of the base areas, and naval
co-operation activities. Numerous tables and
a considerable number of photographs are
included in this comprehensive and
definitive book which is co-authored by
Russell Guest.
