The Knights of Malta is about Peter Nansen, a young American, who joins the Royal Air Force at the beginning of World War II. After ferrying Hurricane fighters to Malta, he is thrust into the epic three-year sky battle over the island against the German and Italian air forces.

It is also about Pete's love for the young Maltese schoolteacher, Anna Refalo. Their story plays out against the terrible bombings and Pete's duels with the enemy pilots high over the island.

While leading a flight of Spitfires from an aircraft carrier to Malta, Pete's engine fails and he force lands in Algeria. The French Underground shelters him until the American invasion of North Africa. Transferred to the USAAF, he leads a squadron in North Africa and on Sicily. He tries, without success, to contact Anna.
