Adrian Warby Warburton was one of the most highly decorated pilots of World War II. A below-average misfit with 22 Squadron of Coastal Command, Warby served in Malta. This fascinating man became, with 350 operational missions from Malta alone, a living legend and an enigma amongst the aces of WWII. But in 1944 he departed on an unusual mission over Europe and disappeared. For almost 60 years the mystery remained unsolved, until a painstaking international search unearthed the truth.
