Aircraft from the USS Hornet bomb Japanese transports [photo at link]

In the Solomon Islands... Near Guadalcanal, American aircraft from the carrier USS Hornet raid supply bases on Santa Isabel. On Guadalcanal, the Japanese increase their bombardment of American positions in preparation for a major attack.

On Madagascar... The British take Ambositra, 140 miles south of the capital city of Tananarive.

So Nazis have already figured out where Allies plan to land in France?
Well, considering how long the Axis have to get ready for it, I'd bet there's no way an Allied assault at Normandy would succeed, right?
