Hello,
Could someone please provide me some information about the deployment of the Force "W" in Greece (mainland and islands) as of November 1940?
I need, if possible, a detailed account of the British deployment, especially concerning the British air assets sent in mainland Greece.
Thank you for any help provided.
Regards,
CNE503
