The Gun Garden — David Beaty
A young Royal Air Force Pilot is sent on a dangerous mission in Malta in this WWII novel of love and war.
Malta, 1942. As the Second World War rages, the strategically vital Mediterranean island of Malta is isolated, desperately short of supplies, and slowly being starved into surrender. Into this hopeless situation, the British send two Wellington aircraft equipped with secret long-range radar. Their role is to find enemy convoys proceeding at night from Italy to Africa, and to lead a tiny naval force through the darkness to their unsuspecting target.
One is captained by a veteran R.A.F. pilot, the other is flown by Peter Forrester, a young and hastily trained kid is about to have his carefree spirit tested by the maelstrom of war. Thrown into this island of heroes, Peter also meets Miranda Black, daughter of a naval captain and a plotter in Barracca H.Q. Written by acclaimed author and R.A.F. veteran David Beaty, The Gun Garden is an authentic tale of gritty battle and young love.
