Benito Mussolini's decision not to invade Malta in June 1940 has been called the worst Axis mistake of World War II. Italian generals overestimated Malta's defenses. If the Italians had invaded the colony in late June 1940 it would have been impossible for the Royal Navy to resupply the garrison.
Late in the movie there is a shot of a merchant ship with a huge hole in her bow. This is actual footage of the Brisbane Star, part of the Pedestal convoy, which remarkably completed the trip under her own power.
The average age of a pilot during the Siege of Malta was 21.
This movie was not well received in Malta, as the country was still under British occupation.
The footage of the stricken Ohio being towed into harbor is footage of the actual event, shot in 1942.
"Flight Lt. Peter Ross: Hello. Maria Gonzar: Hello. Flight Lt. Peter Ross: So... you weren't killed. Maria Gonzar: No... I hardly ever am."
"Maria Gonzar: Peter? Flight Lt. Peter Ross: Yes? Maria Gonzar: Do you think they will come? Flight Lt. Peter Ross: Who? The Germans? I shouldn't think so. Maria Gonzar: Why not. They have many more planes. There's not much to stop them. Flight Lt. Peter Ross: I don't think things happen like that, do they?"
