American naval air force battles sub hunts with many handicaps
A wartime summary notes 39 submarine attacks by American naval aviation, with 10 credited as successful in some manner. It traces early shortages of pilots and machines, motor and propeller defects, and the Italian planes’ failure for night bombing. Despite serious handicaps, operations like the Millingholm(e) project yielded some attacks from Killingholme and Billingholme, though no submarine was sunk by American crews, with British credit limited to one submarine sunk.
