Determined to smash Salan's army, De Gaulle earlier last week flew in 5,000 additional troops to S.A.O.-dominated Oran, named Air Force General Michel Fourquet to succeed Ailleret as commander in chief. Hard-hitting Gaullist Fourquet set out to restore order before restive Moslem mobs got out of control in Oran and Algiers...
Heroic Snafu. To smash Festung Ploesti, U.S. air planners came up with a novel plan : a daring low-level attack that completely violated the high-level strategic bombing canons of most top Air Forces brass. The planners reasoned that a rooftop raid would give the striking B-24 Liberators an element of surprise, limit the effectiveness of the Luftwaffe, and throw off the accuracy of flak gunners primed for high-level raiders. How they miscalculated is the core of Authors Dugan and Stewart's taut and gripping tale of a disastrous yet heroic snafu - pieced together from letters, diaries...

De Gaulle has kept the army confined to encampments outside the cities, intending to use it as a strategic reserve at the critical moment of the signing of the cease-fire agreement...
