Operation Bellows ran alongside Operation Pedestal rather than as a separate carrier story. HMS Furious attempted to fly off thirty-nine Spitfires and got thirty-eight away to Malta. Pairing the fighter delivery with the supply convoy shows how several named operations could unfold at the same time. Bellows added a successful air reinforcement to Pedestal's better-known struggle to deliver ships and cargo.
