Radar picks up multiple incoming bogies from the east.

It appears that the Soviets are stirring up a hornets nest. Hundreds of fighters and medium bombers and 30 PE8 heavy bombers start to form over Brussels. It is clear a major effort is underway.

The weather is clear with temperatures in the low 70s F. The few clouds that appear seem to be spectators in what just might be the Battle for the English Channel.
