About this item

Content

The file, which is a continuation of correspondence in the volume ‘File 13/4 II Facilities for Foreign Air Company’s using Arabian Air Route’ (IOR/R/15/2/512), deals chiefly with the use of air facilities around the Arabian peninsula by United States aircraft during the Second World War. The file contains correspondence relating to: plans of the Californian Standard Oil Company to construct landing strips along the Arab coast between Dhahran and Kuwait; Pan-American Airways aircraft being used by the United States military in the region, and an agreement that such aircraft should be entitled to the same privileges in using aerodrome facilities as British RAF aircraft; concerns among British officials at Pan-American Airways’ attempts to further their commercial interests in the Gulf during the war. A final item of correspondence in the file, dating from 1950, concerns a request by the Lebanese authorities to extend an air route to Kuwait.
