Reading the new, superb "History of the Mediterranean Air War 1940-1945" by Christopher Shores I learned, to my surprise, that Marylands were used as improvised long-range fighters, quite successfully intercepting Ju-52s bringing supplies from Crete to the Western Desert - that is, until they were decimated by Ju 88C-6's of I./NJG 2.
