Stamford: Dalrymple & Verdun Publishing, 2013. No Place for Beginners covers the early years of the siege imposed upon Malta during the Second World War - from June 1940 to September 1941.

Using evidence garnered from a number of sources, including interviews and correspondence with veterans and by reinterpretation of selected photographs, reappraisals of the colours worn by many of the aircraft are considered. Includes 55… Read More
