Description

The Eyes of Malta: The Crucial Role of Aerial Reconnaissance and ULTRA Intelligence, 1940-1943 Aerial reconnaissance played a pivotal role in the Mediterranean Theater during World War II, with all major belligerents employing this means of observation to gain strategic advantages. This book sheds new light on the subject, revealing the impact of aerial reconnaissance on the war in Sicily and the Mediterranean. The island of Malta, heavily bombed throughout the war, proved to be a crucial strategic location, supporting and facilitating the Allies. The highly secret Ultra intelligence service also played a decisive role, anticipating enemy aerial and nautical activities. The war in the Mediterranean was a key to the entire global conflict, with the Allies seeking to stop the Germans and Italians in North Africa and secure the Suez Canal, vital oilfields in the Middle East, and the eventual defeat of the Axis powers.
