"Even greater than the heavy losses in airlanding troops and paratroopers, were the gaps blown in the ranks of the German air transport fleet.

An invasion of England thus became a hazardous and difficult operation, the plans to attack Gibraltar and Malta underwent important changes and were finally cancelled."--Jacket.
