Re: Is this a true statement about the B24?

One significant point worth raising is whether the operation of a transatlantic communications link, including the recycling of ferry crews, was not every bit as much as important at the time?

There is also the question of just how useful a handful of B-24s would have been without the parallel success in breaking the German Navy's codes, and the equally delayed strengthening of the convoy escorts. I don't think the Battle of the Atlantic was won, nor could have been won, by any single factor.
