About How Allied Air Power Won The Battle Of The Atlantic | Air Wars

Without shipments of supplies from the US, Britain would have been entirely isolated from the rest of the world. These shipments had to make a dangerous crossing of the Atlantic ocean, avoiding attacks from German U-Boats. In what was seemingly an un-winnable front against the fierce Nazi submarines, air power is what changed the tide. War Stories is your one stop shop for all things military history.
