Wakde Island Invaded Drives Japanese From Key Air Strip
Allied forces secured Wakde Island in Dutch New Guinea and pushed toward Myitkyina Burma. Sixth Army troops cleared the 4,700 foot coral airstrip, fighting heavy mortar fire and inflicting Japanese casualties as they widened the beachhead and prepared for longer strikes toward Palau Islands and other targets. Meanwhile in Burma, forces under General Stilwell advanced from Myitkyina outskirts with Merrill spearheading a westward push to close the supply line, while other columns pressed from the north and east to trap remaining Japanese units.

London reports enemy massing planes for invasion strike
London reports indicate enemy air forces massing planes for a planned air division to land and strike vital control centers, aiming to disrupt Allied invasion efforts. Gliders are declared to be used in the operation. The development signals a bold move in the air campaign and potential escalation of the conflict.
Allied Leaders Doubt Mazis Plan Rumored Move
Allied leaders predicted Mazis plan may signal a rumored German move toward Britain. Reports from London and Berlin claim Germany ferries gliders and transport planes along the European coast for a potential invasion, with Runstedt named supreme anti invasion commander and Rommel as a subordinate. A Stockholm dispatch links invasion to possible Finnish peace shifts and a change in Helsinki’s stance toward Russia.
