Operation Pedestal
Operation Pedestal was a British operation to get vital supplies to the island of Malta in August 1942, during World War II and the height of the Axis siege of Malta. The British knew that Malta would have to capitulate if supplies of desperately needed fuel and ammunition did not reach its forces here.
