Operation Bowery : ウィキペディア英語版 | Operation Bowery
Operation ''Bowery'' was an Anglo-American operation in World War II to deliver Spitfire fighter aircraft to Malta ("Club Runs"). The aircraft were desperately needed to bolster the island's defence against strong Axis air raids. ==Background== The operation was substantially a repeat of the earlier Operation ''Calendar'', in which the American aircraft carrier USS ''Wasp'' had flown off 48 British Spitfire fighters to Malta to bolster its air defences. Aircraft, support personnel and airfields were inadequately prepared, however, and the enemy were forewarned of the aircraft's arrival. The aircraft had, consequently, been destroyed by heavy air attacks after their arrival on Malta.〔 A repeat delivery (Operation ''Bowery'') had been planned and its success had become even more critical.
