    Hi,

    I'm currently trying with another wikipedia user to update and clean up the article on Operation Forfar, the commando raids launched in support of Operation Starkey, the failed 1943 deception operation.

    We've hit a contradiction in our sources, one (Holt, The Deceivers) says 14 missions were planned, eight carried out, the other (van der Bijl, No. 10 Inter-Allied Commando 1942-45) says 13 missions were planned, 6 were carried out.

    Does anyone know of a definitive source that could clear this up? A second item I'm looking for is a good source that covers the planned missions that were not carried out. The final item, is something that details the specific objectives for each mission.

    For what we have done so far, the current version of the article can be read at:
