There were other events, however, that bore out his prophecy. Tom Holyoke came through in great shape, with Mike Ford, to snatch five unlooked for, but opportune points. Fred Phinney, still in the process of recovering from an injury suffered during the cross-country season, and Bob Kent, who took places in the two-mile were all important in the victory, while Bill Palson's return to his old form when he came within an inch of taking third in the mile, was another outstanding example of the truth in Jaakko's words...
Brittle Arteries. "An angry well-dressed Frenchman about fifty years of age, who looked out of place on the rue de la Huchette, was pummeling with his folded umbrella a young man who bore him a strong family resemblance."

And even the Zeros, despite their superior maneuverability, have been no match for the faster, Allison-engined P-40s and their superior...
...that 1,500,000 Germans were being kept in the west by the offensive. The London Times claimed: "In addition, half of the entire fighter strength of the Luftwaffe is kept away from the Russian front to meet the R.A.F.'s attacks." Neither the figure nor the claim bore examination. The Air Ministry, in fact, listed only 20,000 combatants in a breakdown of its 1,500,000 total. The Times claim did not fit very neatly with the R.A.F. announcement that on the day 400 planes went over France, only five German planes were shot down...
