Allied land, sea, and air forces completed a major-scale 24 hours exercise (Operation Starkey) in the English channel without interference from the enemy. The great armada sailed to within 10 miles of the french coast. Allied bombers and fighters supporting the operation made over 300 sorties, with negligible enemy opposition.
