With D-Day only two days away, Allied fighter units are conducting final combat training in preparation for the invasion of Normandy. Pilots operating from Funtington have a number of training areas available with cold, hot and airborne starts. The Air Combat Zone is located approximately 4 NM south of the field. Four ground-target arrays are positioned just north of Selsey near the three lakes. A structure-target array is located south of Prinsted, while airfield targets are available at Tangmere and simulated U-boat are operating along the coastline south of East Wittering. For carrier operations, USS Essex is stationed offshore. Pilots are to make full use of these ranges to sharpen their air-to-air, air-to-ground, and carrier skills before the coming invasion.
