Britain relies on Alexandria as key to Mediterranean fate
The article argues that Britain's vulnerability in the Mediterranean hinges on Alexandria rather than Suez. It notes loss of the base could allow Axis dominance in the eastern Mediterranean, while Britain could still press the fight if its fleet remains intact. It also covers factory tool mobilization for defense and pilot training plans for overseas delivery of war planes.
