This volume deals with the first 15 months of the Mediterranean
Campaign including the preparations for war and the entry of Italy
into the war on 10th June 1940. The Royal Navy's attack on Oran on
3rd July resulted in the sinking of one French battleship and two
others damaged with heavy loss of life while another one escaped to
France. The attack, three days later on Mers-el-Kebir by carrier
aircraft, damaged another French battleship in port. Also covered
are the first battles against the Italian fleet at Calabria and
Cape Spada which left one Italian battleship damaged and a heavy
cruiser sunk. The account ends in August with the first
Mediterranean convoy battle to run supplies from Gibraltar to
Alexandria - Operation Hat.
