In Onward to Malta, Ton F. Neil describes his time as a fighter pilot with 249 Squadron after the Battle of Britain. Having acquitted themselves splendidly during the Battle of Britain and afterwards, the Squadron, stationed at RAF North Weald in Essex, was ordered to Malta to reinforce the Middle East in April 1941. The book deals with 249s activities at North Weald and their trip to Malta on the aircraft carriers Furious and Ark Royal. Tom Neil describes the life of a young fighter pilot, what he did from day to day, how he saw the war and what he thought of his colleagues and some of his seniors. There are first hand descriptions, not only of the incidents that occurred both at North Weald and in Malta during 1941, but also of a major torpedo attack on the convoy on which the author was traveling to Egypt.
