Summary: | Recounts the US Army Air Force offensive against German submarines in the Atlantic during late 1942 and 1943, describing both the overall strategy of actively seeking targets along heavily travelled routes, and the routes themselves. Also traces the development of antisubmarine technology and the grumbling of the crews stationed in England and North Africa that they were doing the Navy's job. It was in fact turned over to the Navy in 1943 when German planes moved in to contest the territory. The CiP show the truncated subtitle as the title. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
