"For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heaven fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rained a ghastly dew
From the nation’s airy navies grappling in the central blue"
- Alfred,Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)

Corporal Charles H. Johnson of the US 783rd Military Police Battalion, waves on a 'Red Ball Express' motor convoy rushing priority material to the forward areas, near Alencon, France. September 5, 1944.
After the breakout of Normandy in July 1944, an acute shortage of supplies on both fronts governed all operations. Some 28 divisions were advancing across France and Belgium, each ordinarily requiring 700-750 tons a day. Patton's 3rd Army was soon grinding to a halt from lack of fuel and ordnance.
The key to pursuit was a continuous supply of fuel and ordnance, thus leading to the 'Red Ball Express'.
The 'Red Ball Express' was conceived in a 36-hour brain-storming session. It lasted only 3 months from August to November, 1944, but without it, the campaign in the European Theater could have dragged on for years.
At the peak of its operation, it was running 5,938 vehicles carrying 12,342 tons of supplies to forward depots daily.
