The problem with the MTO is that the 1st Spitfire didn't arrive there till 1942, so the timeline argument is ok but it means you can't use a Spitfire over malta till a year after Barbarossa launched. There's a lot of overlap.
If you want it chronologically then MTO would be Itallians vs Hurricanes & Bi-planes from June '40 to January, when the LW start to get involved.
The LW would then effectivley pull out from April to December '41 to take part in the Battle of Crete/Balkans etc..
Park didn't arrive in Malta till 1942. The big RAF offensive sarted afer that and was over by November '42, at which point 330,000 Germans were encircled at Stalingrad.
Having said all that I'd like to see MTO next, but it's not because of historical accuracy it's just a preference.
