Thank you Agracier!
A very good map!
And even if there weren't major air battles in this area, there was a strong presence of air patrols
against U-Boats because the greatest part of lend-lease aid to Russia passed through Iran.
Submarine operations in the Persian Gulf began early: in March 1940 an Italian submarine, the "Galvani"
was sighted and then sinked by allied ships, but axis submarine activity continued
until August 1944 (when the U-859 sinked a merchant ship)
So we can use your good map for anti-sub missions of recon and attack!
EDIT
I forgot: in October '40 a formation of Italian "SM-82" of "41
