Airborne radar detects submarine

Monday, November 18, 1940 www.onwar.com

In the North Atlantic... In an Atlantic operation a U-boat approaching a convoy is detected by a Sutherland flying boat fitted with an Air to Surface Vessel (ASV1) radar set. This is the first time such a location has been achieved by airborne radar in operational conditions.

I see we are sending the Brits some B-24s. Very handy since the B-24 has good range; it will make an excellent maritime anti-submarine craft. I can’t remember right now what the Brits named it, though. Anyone?
