RESEARCH IMW tape 186 Newfoundland aerial 1942

The video discusses the role of ARC aircraft in the North Atlantic, highlighting their effectiveness as anti-submarine weapons. These aircraft extend protection over ocean routes and coastal areas, limiting the range and speed of enemy U-boats by forcing them to remain submerged. The presence of aircraft overhead deters attacks on convoys and undermines the morale of U-boat crews.

What is the primary function of the aircraft built by Secretary Aircraft?

How do the planes contribute to the protection of ocean routes?

What strategies are employed by the planes to curtail the range and speed of EU boats?

In what way does the presence of aircraft overhead affect U-boat crews?

Describe the impact of the aircraft on the morale of the convoy.
