An unusual number of our fighter planes were flying back and forth over the ships and beaches, keeping a lookout for any German fighter that might get a sudden burst of courage. I have never seen an enemy | fighter plane there yet. Although I have flown several missions to the peninsula since the first landing, I have not visited it for five days and things now already looked different. As we flew toward the end of the peninsula, the scene of battle loomed ahead. Below were troops and equipment moving up, leaving behind small French towns, some battered and deserted. The Germans have been pushed back faster than they cpuld withdraw and have choked a crossroad just outside the city with troops That crossroad now is a nightmare traffic jam. Flak explosions began to burst ahead of us. There was no time to worry. We just breathed a prayer, and then the bombs were away toward that concentration of troops.

The shortage of gasoline, which seriously threatening German operational mobility, may become a major factor in shortening the war, the spokesman said. “Most likely German industry will continue on the downgrade with increasing speed,” he said, “and the fruits of five years of blockade and bombings may become apparent on the battlefield this summer.” Recent allied air attacks have had a most serious effect on Germany's oil supply, 90 per cent of which goes to the armed forces, he said, German oil supplies now are down to one-third of a normal 16,000,000 tons annually, he added.
