it's Fantastic how they filmed those RC Boats, no CGI in those days, it was proper Acting & Filming the best they could, I Like That as movies these days is CGI / Green Screen
Runways that weren't long enough planes left uncovered clustered together even not having enough wrenches or tools in order to do needed repairsThe lack of air protection for Malta made the island vulnerable to intense bombing campaigns by the Axis powers. The siege of Malta, which lasted from 1940 to 1942, was one of the heaviest and most sustained of the war, with Malta enduring a greater tonnage of bombs in April 1942 than during the Battle of Britain. Despite these challenges, the people of Malta were recognized for their gallantry and awarded the George Cross medal by King George VI.
Not bad.., they missed one element, though: When they brought the German E boat back to Malta, they needed to camouflage it, to shield it from Lutwaffe and spies.
Right now is the third time I've had the distinct pleasure of viewing this movie. It's in the " Boys Own" tadition. That is until the Anglo-American heart throb hooked up with a brother officers Mrs, in a poor excuse for a cinematic love interest. Anyway, in spite of that, there is plenty of gungho Navy action, the cliché Yank, having to prove himself, coming out from a dangerous action a "bloody hero, mate."
