A number of important targets on and near the coast were bombed and machine-
gunned. Coastal Command aircraft machinegunned two enemy supply ships and destroyed an enemy fighter. Gun positions were also machine-gunned and silenced and another fighter destroyed. One patrol attacked an aerodrome and two fires were started. In all these daylight operations three machines were lost.
