Spitfire Deserter?

The American Pilot Who Went Missing

Bill Simpson
In April 1942, 47 Spitfires took off from a US aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean to relieve the island of Malta from its siege by Axis bombers but 46 arrived. One, piloted by Sergeant Bud Walcott, crash-landed in Vichy-French North Africa. This investigation explores Walcott’s life and career, assessing the long-standing but unproven rumours that he deserted and whether his subsequent, dare-devil flying exploits were compensation for a moment’s panic.
