In this audio, we follow the life of New Zealand Spitfire Pilot Sgt Henry Roberts of the New Zealand air force during WW2 and how he would participate and fight at the siege of Malta. This is an intimate and powerful account of military courage in the face of great danger when he would come up against one of Germany's top fighter aces and be shot down. This video explores the depths of human fear and the heights of human courage. We follow the unit as they fight against over bearing forces in Malta, revealing the heroism and sacrifices of these soldiers as they defend their country against all odds.
We talk to Steve Blunt and Guy Bourke who help us get a better understanding of what it must have been like being a Spitfire Pilot and the challenges these young pilots must have faced.
