Operation Herkules/C3

I'm searching for (preferably) English language information on the never-attempted invasion of Malta. In particular, I'm looking for operational details on the plan: oob, drop zones, objectives, scheduled reinforcements and so forth.

The usual google searches haven't yielded much. I'm hoping someone knows a "magical" site or two that has some beef to it.

Well when googling remember to check groups.google.com as well. ;) Search under groups.google.com with the key phrase "Operazione C3 group:sci.military.naval"

Not sure how accurate these are however I'm sure someone will correct where needed.

Operazione
C3 - 1 - Air Force

Operazione C3 - 2 -Navy

Operazione C3 - 3 - Army

Operazione C3 - 4 - Landings

I never thought about the google groups. The info in those links is a great suplement to what I found.

Thanks!

Jeffrey F, my compliments for the links! :) I was going to translate an Italian article, but you saved me. :)
I can just add this Italian link: Operazione C3 Malta (there are some photos of the trainings for the landing).
