Notes
This file contains correspondence relating to the Standard Oil Company of California's oil concession in Bahrein [Bahrain]. The correspondence is concerned with whether or not it would be appropriate for Imperial Airways to assist the Californian company in developing aerial infrastructure in Arabia. In particular, the company feels it would be useful to be able to employ the use of aircraft between Bahrein and the area in which they are drilling, and between Bahrein and Jedda [Jeddah], where their main office is located. The possibility of the company forming an alliance/partnership with Germany is discussed by British officials. Copies of the letters were forwarded to the India Office and are included in the file (f 11 is a copy of f 5 and ff 12-13 are copies of ff 6-7). | 1 file (12 folios) | The file is divided into two halves: PZ 1153/1939 and 1133/1939 (ff 2-7); and PZ 1058/1939 (ff 8-13).
