Planes delayed takeoff until sunrise to search areas where driftwood or objects in the water had been reported. Areas over the Baltic through the straits of Kattegat Skagerrak and the North Sea northeast of Norway were covered. The search would continue until all hope is abandoned by top air force and navy authorities.
