Operation Pedestal: Convoy To Malta - a War Thunder short film

Subtitles/CC available.

Operation Pedestal: 11th August 1942
Fortress Malta is besieged. Desperate for food and fuel the relief convoy is within sight.
The Island's population and their Defenders, have faced hardship together in a desperate time of survival against all odds.
If this convoy is sunk, Malta and the war in the Mediterranean will be lost.

The Convoy approaches Valletta, but it is far from a safe haven. Italian bombers are incoming in a last gasp attempt to sink the Convoy and crush the hopes of the Islanders.

Newly arrived Spitfire Vbs of No. 126 Squadron RAF, scramble "their few" to meet them. No. 248 Squadron RAF scramble the last of their Beaufighters in support.

Already above them a frantic struggle is unfolding as Spitfires prepare for yet another 109 onslaught.

Though the enemy may be better trained and greater in number, the RAF will not accept defeat, at any cost. The unspoken eternal truth that many will die and friends will be lost is the burden that must be borne.
