Summary

American cargo ships unload in a port in the Middle East. Among their loads are partly assembled vehicles which are speedily completed on the quayside, extra tyres and thousands of extra petrol tins also. By winning complete control of the Eritrean coastline, practically every obstacle to the delivery of American war material has been removed, delivery which is proceeding by the Red Sea Route.
