Description
In Onward to Malta Tom Neil describes his time as a fighter pilot with 249 Squadron after the Battle of Britain.
Having acquitted themselves splendidly during the Battle of Britain and afterwards, the Squadron, stationed at RAF North Weald in Essec, was ordered to Malta to reinforce the Middle East in April 1941.
This book deals with 249’s activities at North Weald and their trip to Malta on the aircraft carriers Furios and Ark Royal. Tom Neil describes the life of a young fighter pilot, what he did from day to day, how he saw the war and what he thought of his colleagues and some of his seniors.
