The United States aircraft car

least twice, delivered plane re
inforcements at Malta and re
turned unharmed.
On one trip it arrived Just in
time for the British ' planes It
carried to surprise and Inflict
considerable losses upon an at
tacking enemy air force.
. The navy made this announce
ment Wednesday, and authori
ties disclosed that the ferrying
voyages occurred some weeks
ago, before the present grim
battle in Egypt began. Whether
the aerial reinforcements might
have any effeet en the current
struggle to save Egypt was not
stated. -
So far as events' conld .. be
pieced together from the navy's
laconic communique, the de
liveries occurred at about 'the
time the nails were pouring
troop and supplies Into north
Africa In preparation for Field
Marshal Era in Rommel's re
cent offensive. At that time the
air force based on Malta had '
been decimated ; by repeated
axis attacks.
The announcement left un
answered the question whether
American planes and American
pilots, as well as British, were
taken to Malta. It was con
sidered obviously ' possible that
the American fliers .were now
a part of the island's garrison.

by the Wasp also was uncer

Canada and the United King
