This biography takes as its focus Wing Commander Adrian Warburton DSO, DFC, DFC (USA) and his time as a photo-reconnaissance pilot during the Second World War. His story is set against the backdrop of the Air Battle of Malta and the island's Greater Siege from 1940 to 1942. It also draws in the story of his relationship with Christina Ratcliffe, a vivacious young woman turned aircraft plotter in RAF Fighter Control. Warburton, once described by Lord Tedder as 'the most valuable pilot in the RAF', makes for a particularly intriguing subject in this insightful biography.
