THIS DAY IN WW2(16.9.40)
In North Africa... The Italians take Sidi Barrani as their cautious advance into Egypt begins to grind to a halt.

In the United States... The Selective Service Bill becomes law. It permits compulsory induction into the armed forces for all males between the ages 21-35.

In the Mediterranean... Aircraft from the carrier Illustrious, escorted by the battleship Valiant attack Benghazi during the night. Four Italian ships are sunk in the harbor, including two destroyers. The cruiser Kent is detached from the force while returning to Alexandria in order to shell Bardia and is badly damaged in an attack by torpedo planes.
