    And another new book. Going to be bankrupt at this rate.

    "These stirring black and white images have shed light on the RAF air battle over Malta, a ferocious but oft-forgotten chapter of the Second World War.
    The stunning pictures show British Royal Air Force pilots proudly displaying Swastika-clad trophies from downed Luftwaffe planes on the island, a strategically situated outpost of the British Empire.
    Other shots show children playing among the plane wreckage, pilots posing with their planes and surviving participants of the battle revisiting Malta - a British colony at the time - years later.
    The rare snaps are showcased in a new book, Air Battle of Malta, by Anthony Rogers, which studies the bloody two-year battle and looks at how life was for locals and servicemen during that time."
