The Struggle for Malta by Ivan Berryman. \u003cp\u003e Having been initially intercepted by just three ageing Gloster Gladiators, who gallantly gave both the Germans and Italians the impression of a much bigger resistance in the skies above Malta, the Italian Air Force was suddenly confronted by the more capable Hawker Hurricanes of 261 (F) Sqn, commanded by Sqn Ldr D W Balden.  The previously unescorted bombers of the Regia Aeronautica suddenly required the presence of fighters to protect the marauding bombers, as depicted here, where Macchi  200s of 6° Gruppo 1° Stormo, reel around the sky to chase off the Hurricanes from the attacking Savoia Marchetti SM.79s above Grand Harbour in the summer of 1940. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSigned by Flt Lt Leonard Davies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLimited edition of 50 artist proofs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Image size 12.5 inches x 8 inches (32cm x 20cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military Aviation Art Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54135244915021,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5449\/9149\/files\/2026NEWdhm6183.jpg?v=1781872042","url":"https:\/\/militaryaviationartprints.com\/products\/the-struggle-for-malta-by-ivan-berryman-apc","provider":"Military Aviation Art Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
