Letter

Letter from Winston Churchill to Auchinleck, conveying his conviction, established through the Air Staff in London, that there will be substantial numerical air superiority in the battle zone, his belief that the forthcoming Crusader campaign will have dramatic effects upon the whole immediate future of the war and on the attitudes of the Russians and the British themselves, and his forecast of how to exploit success by further victorious action in Tripoli, perhaps, or from Norway or against Sicily. Typescript, with holograph additions, signed.
