AKHIL KADIDAL THE STORY OF MALTA: APPENDIX AIR HEADQUARTERS MALTA HQ: Valletta, Malta Air Vice-Marshal Forster Maynard – 1939 Air Vice-Marshal Hugh P. Lloyd May – 26 December 1941 Air Vice-Marshal Sir Keith Park – 15 July 1942 to 1944 Air Vice-Marshal R.M. Foster – 26 March 1944 Air Vice-Marshal K.B. Lloyd – 19 October 1944 to 6 June 1947 Air Headquarters Malta was formed on 26 December 1941 by renaming RAF Mediterranean. Subordinate to Middle East Command, Air HQ Malta was transferred to Mediterranean Air Command on 18 February 1943, and then to HQ Mediterranean Allied Air Forces on 10 January 1944. On 1 August 1945, the formation was transferred to RAF Mediterranean and Middle East, and granted independent command status on 1 December 1953. Air HQ Malta was disbanded on 30 June 1968. RAF Order of Battle June 1940 to May 1943 First Period, June 1940 to February 1942 The air war began in Malta with token strength of six antiquated Gladiator fighters. A force of Hurricane’s was flown in and this constituted No.412 Flight. In late-1940 RAF Wellingtons (five squadrons) were based on the island and were the only offensive capability Malta possessed. In January 1941, however, all these were destroyed on the ground in a series of intense air attacks. Meantime, Hurricane fighters were constantly ferried to the island to replace losses and to increase the number fighters on Malta. In all, 361 Hurricanes were ferried towards Malta since August 1940 of which 303 reached the island, and of which 150 went on to North Africa. May 1941 brought the total force of Hurricanes to 50 aircraft. From June 1940 to the beginning of 1942, the defending fighters had claimed 199 confirmed enemy aircraft kills and 78 probables, while the AA guns accounted for another 50 aircraft. All this had been achieved for the loss of 20 Hurricanes, 3 Fulmars, 1 Gladiator plus another 10 Hurricanes & 2 Fulmars were lost in accidents; these figures exclude losses on the ground. Fighter Squadrons: 261 Squadron: Hurricane Mk I – August 1940 to May 1941 806 Royal Navy Squadron (Detachment): Fulmar Mk I – January 1941 to March 1942 185 Squadron: Hurricane Mk I, IIA, B, C – May 1941 to February 1942 249 Squadron: Hurricane Mk I, IIA, B – May 1941 to February 1942 46 Squadron (renamed to 126 Squadron): Hurricane Mk IIB, C – June 1941 to February 1942 1435 Flight: Hurricane Mk IIB, C – December 1941 to February 1942 1 800 Royal Navy Squadron (detachment): Fulmar Mk I – May 1941 to November 1941 242 Squadron (Detachment): Hurricane Mk IIB, C – November 1941 to February 1942 605 Squadron (Part): Hurricane Mk IIB, C – November 1941 to February 1942 NOTE – 261 Squadron had been formed by No. 412 Flight containing 12 Hurricane Mk Is. In May 1941, No. 249 Squadron replaced 261 Squadron. Strike Squadrons: 252 Squadron (Detachment): Beaufighter Mk I – May 1941 & December 1941 252/272 Squadrons (Detachment): Beaufighter Mk I – July 1941 to August 1941 272 Squadron (Detachment): Beaufighter Mk I – August 1941 to September 1941 113 Squadron (detachment): Blenheim Mk IVF – September 1941 Bomber Squadrons: Wellington Squadrons (148, 37, 38, 221 (Special Flight), 104 & 40 Squadrons) Blenheim Mk IV Squadrons (21, 139, 82, 110, 105, 107 & 18 Squadrons) Fairy Swordfish Squadrons (830 Royal Navy Squadron (12 Aircraft)) Albacore Squadron (828 Royal Navy Squadron) Reconnaissance Units: 431 Flight: Maryland September 1940 to January 1941 (became 69 Squadron – January 1941 to February 1942) Second Period, March to November 1942 This was second period of concerted enemy air strikes, but much had changed on the island. Some 64 Spitfires were put aboard the carriers USS Wasp and HMS Eagle and on 9 May the first of these agile fighters arrived at Malta. The Spitfire soon achieved air dominance when on May 10 they destroyed 23 axis planes for the loss of four Spitfires. A total of 111 Spitfire’s were delivered to Malta during May, with 25 lost in combat. In July 1942, Malta had 80 serviceable fighters, with an average of 17 a week shot down or too badly damaged to fly again. But in exchange 149 axis aircraft had been shot down, with another 38 classified as probably destroyed and 140 damaged for the loss of 36 Spitfires. By mid-November when the raids on Malta were called off, a total of 385 Spitfire had been sent to the Island of which 12 returned to the carrier; 367 reached Malta and 134 had been lost to accidents or combat. Fighter Squadrons: 249 Squadron: Spitfire Mk Vb – March to November 1942 126 Squadron: Hurricane Mk IIB, C, Spitfire Mk. V – March to November 1942 185 Squadron: Hurricane Mk IIB, C, Spitfire Mk. V – March to November 1942 1435 Flight: Hurricane Mk IIB, C, and Beaufighter Mk. I – March to August 1942 229 Squadron: Hurricane Mk IIC – March to May 1942 229 Squadron (reformed): Spitfire Mk. V – August to November 1942 601 Squadron: Spitfire Mk V – April to June 1942 603 Squadron: Spitfire Mk V – April to July 1942 1435 Squadron (Raised from 1435 Flt.): Spitfire Mk V – July 1942 to November 1942 89 Squadron (detachment): Beaufighter Mk I & VIF – June to November 1942 242 & 605 Squadrons were amalgamated into 185 Squadron in March 1942. 229 & 1435 Squadrons were reformed mainly from 603 Squadron personnel. 2 Strike Squadrons: 235 Squadron (Detachment): Beaufighter Mk I – June to August 1942 252 Squadron (Detachment): Beaufighter Mk I – July 1942 & August 1942 248 Squadron: Beaufighter Mk. I – July to August 1942 227 Squadron (From 235 Squadron detachment): Beaufighter Mk I – August 1942 to November 1942 Bomber Squadrons: 37 Squadron: Wellington – February to March 1942 104 Squadron: Wellington – May to June 1942 38 Squadron (detachment): Wellington – June 1942 217 Squadron (detachment): Beaufort – June 1942 39 Squadron: Beaufort Mk I & II – September to October 1942 830 Royal Navy Squadron: Swordfish, Albacore – March to November 1942 Reconnaissance Units: 69 Squadron: Maryland, Baltimore Mk I & II & Spitfire PR Mk IV – March to November 1942 De Havilland Mosquito: one Squadron. Post-Battle Period, June to August 1943 During this period, the Luftwaffe’s offensive had been all but crushed by the RAF, and the Maltese based squadrons now undertook missions in support of the Sicilian Invasion in July 1943. In order to cope with the sudden increase in squadrons, the RAF on the island was forced to build a fourth airfield. This was based on the island of Gozo, where it was constructed by forcefully (but fortunately temporarily) requisitioning farmlands, which were then flattened and padded with steel plates. This airfield was the home of the American 31st Fighter Group which used it until August 1943, after which the group moved to Sicily.

HOUSMAN: Last Poems PREFACE The names of a considerable number of individuals have been included in this informal narrative, either (as in the case of squadron commanders) to distinguish units, or because of their association with the particular incidents described. They represent, of course, but a small fraction of the total number of personnel who, in the air and on the ground, have carried on staunchly, month after month, per- forming the deeds of heroism and endurance which are rou- tine among the overseas squadrons of the Royal Canadian Air Force. While the limitations of space and security do not permit the inclusion of more names, this narrative is the story of (and tribute to) all such personnel.

During the celebrated Schneider Trophy races, both R. J. Mitchell and Dr Mario Castoldi would design two of the most impressive aircraft the world has ever seen. Powered by the Rolls-Royce R engine, Mitchell’s Supermarine S 6B would claim the prize for Britain once and for all on The Spitfire’s ancestry can be traced directly to the Supermarine S 6B Schneider Trophy winner of 1931. Creating the seaplane, powered by a Rolls-Royce R engine, provided both Supermarine and Rolls- Royce with a sound grounding for the future development of both the Spitfire and the Merlin engine. This particular example, S1596 (the second S 6B built), broke the world air speed record on 29 September 1931 when Flt Lt George Stainforth reached 407.5mph whilst at the controls. 4 (Crown Copyright) © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com 13 September 1931 when the floatplane achieved a top speed of 380mph. Unfortunately for the Italians, their Macchi M.C.72 was not ready for the race and did not compete.
