Helicopter Sinks Subs

The video discusses the heightened threat of U-boats during wartime and the measures taken to counteract them, including the use of destroyer flotillas, patrol planes, and PT boats. Despite these efforts, many U-boats evade capture, leading to significant ship losses. To combat this, the U.S. introduces a new anti-submarine device: the helicopter. Developed by the Army Air Forces and the Maritime Commission, the Sikorsky helicopter is capable of landing on small decks and dropping bombs with high accuracy, offering a new strategy to eliminate U-boats.
