Description: (Canadian Fighter Pilot)
George Beurling was a highly accomplished Canadian fighter pilot during World War II, known for his remarkable combat abilities. Credited with downing 27 Axis aircraft in a mere 14 days over Malta, he earned nicknames like "The Falcon of Malta" and the "Knight of Malta." Despite his heroics, his military career was cut short due to his reckless conduct and disregard for teamwork. Tragically, Beurling lost his life in a crash while on a mission to deliver an aircraft to Israel.
