Interesting thread swamprat69er. Great link Jim.
Clicking back and forth between 1941 and 1942 is amazing. The war came to North America very quickly. I can look out the back window of the shop that I work in, New Glasgow Rd. P.E.I. and see the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Hard to believe that the war was that close.
It's covered with ice right now but I'm pretty sure I saw a Type IX out there last summer.
