Supermarine Seafire in the Mediterranean?

1

Does anyone know whether the Supermarine Seafire was involved in the defense of Malta, such as convoy protection? I would appreciate any information available.

2

I just Googled Spitfires at Malta,the search returned many articles that say yes.

The Seafire first saw action during Operation Torch. This was the same month the Siege of Malta ended. So Spitfires yes, Seafires, i doubt it. But they were used in the Scicily and Italian campaigns.

I apologize, I thought I read Spitfire in your original question,my bad. Thanks Bish

I thought you had Tojo, i do it all the time.

I have James Holland’s excellent book “Fortress Malta”, but couldn’t remember it containing any reference to Seafires. I checked the index but, while Sea Gladiators are listed, there’s nothing for Seafires.

Thanks to all for your assist. Further digging on the web suggested you’re probably correct that they came too late for Malta.

So, I’m moving on to another option. Please check it out…
