By helping to prevent Rommel from reaching the Suez Canal, the RAAF pilots made a contribution to the allied victory. This is not simply a military history, but one that also tells the human story of the men who had to overcome starvation diets and frequent ill-health to mount attacks against forces always much larger than their own. Thus it is also the story of the men who fought and flew against all the odds.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44135737163995,"sku":"9780091695705-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780091695705-us-300.jpg?v=1685966538","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780091695705-secondhand-against-all-odds-royal-australian-air-force-pilots-in-the-battle-for-malta-1942","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
