“Waqa’ Ajruplon: Chronicles of Fallen Aircraft in Gozo” by Matthew Curmi

This book brings to light decades of forgotten memories. It is the result of years of meticulous research and a passion for a subject that brings together Italy, Malta, and the history of military aviation in a surprising intertwining of aerial tragedies and acts of extraordinary humanity. Even in instances of wartime, there is a glimmer of humanity. The first hand accounts in this book shed light on new perspectives, previously unknown and neglected. It strips away the military aspects of the Second World War, and presents something pure, genuine and inspiring.
