The North Sea Spider Web anti-submarine patrol area is well known.
I have just found mention of “Port Spider Web” in the log book of a pilot flying from Port Said, Egypt. He was ex- East Indies and Egypt Seaplane Squadron, RNAS, at the time of writing, May 1918, 431/2 Flight RAF.
There is the single mention of Spider Web but many Patrol Area (port) and (starboard) in the log book, starting in 1917.
War in the Air mentions patrols and convoy escort in Vol 6, but does not provide specifics.
Can anyone provide details of anti-submarine patrols from Port Said?
