Quoting the DMN [Defense Media Network] about Leslie Howard's plane being targeted: "What the public didn't know, though the Nazis did, was that [Leslie] Howard also worked for British Intelligence. In fact, Howard's tour to promote La lampada arde (1943) in neutral Spain and Portugal was a cover for his participation in the Foreign Office's effort to keep Spain and Portugal neutral, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of the strategic metal wolfram (at the time the Iberian peninsula produced 90 percent of the world's supply), and obtain military base rights to Portugal's Azores Islands Initially Howard refused to go, citing security concerns. It took the intervention of Foreign Minister Anthony Eden to convince Howard to make what would turn out to be a fatal trip."
