British air operations for 1942 are governed by several factors. In the OB the CV Wasp may ferry fighters to Malta. At any time the British CVs and CVLs may carry their aircraft to Malta and either off-load them or fly them to the base at Malta per the rules.

Each time a British CV or CVL off-loads its air units to Malta it must receive replacements for them at Gibraltar.

Counters provided exceed the maximum number needed for this module, but, it is better to have more than you need, yes?

In future issues of the magazine there will be additional rules and OBs covering air OB and OA information.
