520 _a"In early 1930, the British Government decided to switch their air route to India from the Persian coast to the Arabian coast. What ensued was a carefully crafted power struggle between the British Government, with all its might at the time, and the rightful rulers of the emirates of the Trucial Coast who refused to grant the requested facilities unless their independence was fully respected. The airport became a reality only after long and difficult negotiations, and the British Government's acceptance to give Sheikh Sultan bin Saqr al-Qassimi, Ruler of Sharjah, official assurances that his independence would not be affected."--Back cover.
