Hello,

Here are two other books/references you should add to your reading list:

Stalking The U-Boat - USAAF Offensive Antisubmarine Operations in World War II
Schoenfeld,Max
Washington:Smithsonian Institution Press,1995
pp.141-2, 144 & 193.

and ...

Hitler's U-Boat War - The Hunted 1942-1945.
Blair,Clay
London:Weidenfeld & Nicolson,1999
p.380.

Both mention Hamilton as, "Joseph L. Hamilton".

Col.
