The Killer Nobody Wanted but Everyone Needed - The Falcon of Malta

In June 1942, George Beurling, too much of a rule breaker for the structured squadrons fighting over France, has been let loose on the enemy-ridden skies of Malta.

His lone Spitfire twists through a storm of gunfire. Suddenly, he spots movement—a Messerschmitt slipping away.

Beurling dives hard, cutting through the sky, and while the German pilot swerves left and right, the Canadian pilot stays locked on his tail. Hours of obsessive gunnery training pay off as he sends a short burst that tears through the Messerschmitt's rear and sends it into a spiraling dive.

Beurling doesn't bother to check on his prey; he's not interested in reports or credit. The Falcon of Malta was just there to fly.
