Waqa’ Ajruplon: Chronicles of fallen aircraft in Gozo

Description “When the nine-year-old boy approached the Italian airman, with cross in hand, he was not ingrained in the ideologies of Fascism or Nazism. He saw past the enemy within the Italian and witnessed a Catholic man in his hour of need. A man could be as violent to another as he can be sympathetic. While the adults fought in the air, a child garnered peace on the ground.” Even in instances of wartime, there is a glimmer of humanity. The first hand accounts in this book shed light on new perspectives, previously unknown and neglected. It strips away the military aspects of the Second World War, and presents something pure, genuine and inspiring.
