How many operations can you name (without looking them up)
The most enlightening from a planning perspective are the ones that never got the go ahead . Some ops morphed into other ops . Many of the ops could be mistaken for a bookies line , Same horsey peeps naming the nags as named the ops I would wager .
The Aviation related operation that definitely made a huge contribution to the war effort was Operation Hydra , one of many .

I'd have expected you to reference the 1956 'The Man Who Never Was' .
OP. DENY CHRISTMAS Well-known to the RAF AAR force when yet another OOA operation in support of Trust-me-Tone's 'Bring a Bottle' mini-wars was called at short notice.....and off we went to some dusty dump yet again!!

Operation Pedestal, the convoy from Gibraltar to Malta in August 1942, the largest fleet of WWII assembled to bring supplies to the rapidly starving garrison of Malta, huge losses including HMS Eagle, but enough ships got through, including the Ohio, to keep Malta in the war. Recently published account by Max Hastings is gripping and recommended.
