| Abstract: | Since the formation of No. 267 (Sea-plane) Squadron at RAF (Royal Air Force) Kalafrana in 1918 up to the last operational RAF squadron (No.13, P.R) that left Malta in September 1978, this 60-year period will be remembered mostly for the role Malta played during the Second World War when the RAF defence aircraft in Malta helped to defeat the Axis air forces' attacks on the Maltese islands, which at times went on unabated. |
