It is now more than 40 years since Fighters over the Desert" was published & nearly as long since this was followed by " Fighters over Tunisia". Both volumes have long been out of print & collectors items but despite much prompting Christopher Shores has resolutely refused to permit their reprinting until he amassed so much more information. He has also long nursed a desire to expand the coverage to encompass the operations of the other types of aircraft involved in this interesting & important theatre of war
- the bombers reconnaissance aircraft & maritime units. Further it is his intention to extend the period covered to include the later operations over Sicily Italy the Aegean area the Balkans & Southern Europe. This then represents the first volume of a seminal series dealing with all these aspects & areas which will also tie in with the earlier Grub Street volumes which he & his collaborators have produced. Thus a full coverage of all aspects of aerial operations throughout the whole of the Mediterranean area will be the ultimate result. Further these volumes will link appropriately & directly with his other works of this nature dealing both with the Far East & the war in Europe. Readers will then be able to follow the wartime careers of units & personnel involved from volume to volume throughout the war. Operations directly over the main battlefronts will be dealt with as previously on a daily basis. However to allow a clearer view to be obtained of operations elsewhere in the theatre or of a different nature separate chapters will deal specifically with the night bombers the air defence of the base areas & the naval co-operation activities. Wide use of maps will be made throughout this & subsequent volumes together with a considerable number of photographs integrated into the text. Long awaited by many if any work can be said to be comprehensive & definitive this is it."
