In Britain... The Handley Page Halifax bomber makes its maiden flight. It was a four-engined heavy bomber.

From Germany... Three U-boats are dispatched to the Mediterranean; only U-26 arrives and has no success.

On the Western Front... French troops reportedly repulse a German detachment in the region close to the Moselle. As a whole, conditions on are reported to be quiet.

In Mexico... In Mexico City, Leon Trotsky is reported to have said that "Stalin is afraid of Hitler, and is right to be so."
