Several months after the U.S. entry into World War II, an inexperienced U.S. Navy commander must lead an Allied convoy being stalked by a German submarine wolf pack.
Consolidated PBY-5A[]
US Navy aircraft seen at the start of the film as the convoy leaves the range of protective air cover.
Consolidated Catalina IIIA[]
RAF Coastal Command amphibian example seen towards the end of the film, sinking the final U-boat once the convoy reenters the range of air cover. Only twelve delivered to the RAF, all others Catalinas were flying boats.
Consolidated PB4Y-2M Privateer[]
Seen during the credits, this Consolidated PB4Y-2M Privateer dropping a ASM-N-2 (a radar-guided glide bomb). This very short archive footage is a wrong use of historical material as the bomb was combat proven in April 1945 and only in the Pacific theater !
The Privateer itself was on front line units not before the end of 1944.
ASM-N-2 Bat.
Consolidated PB4Y-2M Privateer (US roundel on the nose) dropping a white ASM-N-2 Bat (guessed in the low center).
Consolidated PBY-5[]
US Navy archive footage with the roundel with the central red dot so before May 1942.
Grumman TBF Avenger[]
