During the Second World War, the Rock was strengthened as a fortress. On 18 July 1940, the Vichy French air force attacked Gibraltar in retaliation for the British bombing of the Vichy navy. The critical Operation Pedestal convoy was run from Gibraltar in August 1942. This resupplied the island of Malta at a critical time in the face of concentrated air attacks from German and Italian forces. Spanish dictator Francisco Franco’s reluctance to allow the German Army onto Spanish soil frustrated a German plan to capture the Rock, codenamed Operation Felix.
