After over a month of bombardment, the troops on Malta were beginning to run low on supplies -including aircraft- to help fight off the attackers, and some doubt was expressed whether Malta was worth the supplies it required, and some even planned on letting Malta work on the few supplies it had left.
Setelah satu bulan pengeboman, pasukan di Malta mulai berkurang pasokan logistiknya (termasuk pesawat aircraft) untuk membantu bertahan dari penyerang, dan keraguan diungkapkan apakah Malta sanggup bertahan dengan sedikit supplai yang diterima, dan beberapa merencanakan terbang meninggalkan Malta yang bekerja dengan sedikit suplai.
