ground troops open up maximum fire. In addition to this, a local counterattack, which took place at too late an hour to warn the air borne troops, apparently allowed the enemy to establish fire zone near the selected landing ground. The combination of all these things resulted in quite serious losses. My present reports are that We lost 23 planes, while personnel losses as yet are unestimated.
 "A later operation on the British front brought out the lesson that when we land airborne troops Tn hostile territory, we should not do so in successive waves, but should do it at once. Tn the first WaVe' where We had surprise, losses were negligible, but in the two succeed ing waves they were very large.
 Even in the daytime we have great trouble in preventing our own naval and land forces from firing on friendly planes. This seems particularly odd in this opera tion, where we have such great air superiority that the presumption IS that any plane flying in a straight and level course is friendly. Spaatz has written Arnold at considerable length on this subject, and he IS convinced, as am, that We are going to have to do some very earnest basic training in both ground and naval forces. Other wise, we will finally get our air forces to the point where they will simply refuse to come over when we want them.
 Success of Landings
 By sunrise, three hours after the assault, beachheads had been es- tablished along 100 miles of coast, from just south of Syracuse to west of Licata. Our troops were moving inland, nortseast of Gela, on D plus l, when the Germans directed heavy armored counter-attack against the lst Division. It was beaten of largely through expert use of artillery and navy gun Ire. This action provided the most crit teal moment of the invasion.
 The problems of supply over the beaches were especially acute dur ing the first two days. The needs of the combat troops were urgent but adverse weather and occasional enemy air attacks made unloading Of ships difficult and hazardous The beach-supply operation first proved the excellence of our ? l-1 ton amphilbious truck, the 'DUKW, an official designation which quick ly became popularized as DUCK (ldsenocuneredt B, O
