Item description from seller

Octavo, blue boards (hardcover), gilt lettering, 222 pp. Near Fine, with bookplate in a Near Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Warburton (known to all as Warby) was one of the most highly decorated pilots of the war. Fearless in the air, he won fame in Malta for his invaluable photo reconnaissance work at Taranto, Sicily and North Africa. So invaluable that he was ordered not to make detours to shoot down enemy planes, yet he shot down nine! Earlier he had been a below-average misfit with 22 Squadron of Coastal Command. Sent to Malta to avoid trouble in the UK, and guided by an understanding Australian, Warby quickly became famous. known at first as a loner, he was given his head by AOC Air Vice Marshal Hugh Pughe Lloyd. The spectacular results he achieved enabled his unconventional behaviour to be overlooked. With his glamorous girl-friend Christina, the two became part of Malta's legend, symbols of the island's reisistance. Aviation, Pilot Biography, Military Biography zslic.
