George Beurling

Canadian George Beurling broke every rule in the book yet became one of the greatest fighter pilots of World War II. A loner and a social misfit, Beurling’s disdain for protocol branded him an outcast. Regardless, during the Battle of Malta no Allied pilot shot down more enemy planes. Against staggering odds, Beurling’s eagle-eye marksmanship and extraordinary command of his Spitfire helped win a crucial victory against the fascist powers.
