Operation PLUTO

About

Operation PLUTO - Pipeline under the ocean - was an ambitious and top-secret operation to lay a series of pipelines across the English Channel from the south coast of England to France following the D-Day landings in order to supply fuel to the advancing Allied forces.
Described by Eisenhower, ''It was second in daring only to the artificial (Mulberry) Harbours'', and in the words of Winston Churchill, ''Operation Pluto was a remarkable feat of British engineering, distinguished in its originality, pursued with tenacity and crowned by complete success. This creative energy helped to win the war''.
