An item referred to J.I.C. comments that regarded the large numbers of German aircraft (2nd Air Fleet) stationed on Italian bases a combined air-naval ‘all out’ attack on the British Mediterranean Fleet and her bases at Malta at Alexandria, Egypt was a hypothetical possibility.(1)
Note
1. Malta was sieged between 11 June 1940-20 November 1942 by Italian-German forces.
