Wing Commander Adrian "Warby" Warburton (10 March 1918 – 12 April 1944) was a Royal Air Force (RAF) pilot during World War II. He became legendary in the RAF for his role in the defence of Malta. His life and work has been depicted in the book Warburton's War by Tony Spooner and in the BBC Timewatch documentary The Mystery Of The Missing Ace. A fuller depiction of his life, The Maltese Spitfire, was written by Squadron Leader Harry Coldbeck DFC, with an introduction by Wing Commander P.B. Lucas CBE, DSO, DFC; both of whom knew Warburton extremely well.
