Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: A great read. - After watching and enjoying a programme about George Beurling I looked on the internet to see what other information there was about him and discovered this book. I'm always interested in people who are a bit different and Beurling came across as being quite an extraordinary (Screwball!) man who would have an interesting story to tell. I didn't buy the book straight away as there was only one other review which didn't say much, other than a really good read and some pages missing, and because of having so many other books to read. Curiosity got the better of me though and it wasn't long before the book arrived through the post. I've always found desertcart's delivery service to be very good. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and am usually a slow reader but I read it in about 5 evenings which is fast for me. Beurling was clearly obsessed about flying from an early age, and you immediately get the feeling that it's all he wants to do. He doesn't have the education/background to get into the Canadian Royal Air Force and after attempts to get into other air forces he joins the British Royal Air Force. He feels he's an outsider and isn't happy until he's posted to Malta where he finally sees some action. It's in Malta that Beurling shows his talents as a pilot and a marksman and his tally of enemy aircraft shot down quickly grows. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in war stories. Leslie Roberts who co-writes the book does an excellent job and at times I almost felt that I was there with Beurling! Most of the narrative is written as Beurling tells his story from his childhood until he was shot down in Malta. There weren't any missing pages as mentioned in the other review. Review: great book, easily read and just like a public ... - great book, easily read and just like a public information film.... downplays the activities of an exceptionally brave and dedicated individual. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (354) | | Dimensions | 13.97 x 1.91 x 19.69 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1906502986 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1906502980 | | Item weight | 299 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | 19 May 2011 | | Publisher | Grub Street Publishing | ## Images ![Malta Spitfire: The Diary of a Fighter Pilot - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jpirPMuwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great read. *by O***3 on 31 December 2012* After watching and enjoying a programme about George Beurling I looked on the internet to see what other information there was about him and discovered this book.

George Beurling was going to learn to fly whatever the cost, he had to pay for his lessons out of a meagre income, he even starved to raise the necessary funds. Come the start of the war he travelled to the UK to join the RAF, crossing the Atlantic on a convoy, working on board to pay his way. When the Selection Officer told him he needed his birth certificate to join he went the same route back to Canada to get it. The book describes his journey to Malta and the desperate battle to defend the island, beaten to it's knees but never giving up. All of his battles with German and Italian aircraft (and the dreaded Malta Dog) are described in riveting detail. I can thoroughly recommend this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/62365050-malta-spitfire-the-diary-of-a-fighter-pilot](https://www.desertcart.id/products/62365050-malta-spitfire-the-diary-of-a-fighter-pilot) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
