Slide Rules and Submarines: American Scientists and Subsurface Warfare in World War II by Montgomery C. Meigs (1990)Abstract: In Slide Rules and Submarines Montgomery Meigs describes how the Allies learned to counter the U-boat threat. Using new technology—and new tactics derived from scientific methods—they devised countermeasures to defeat the German submarine menace. Then, continuing to apply those successful measures, they went on to negate the Japanese submarine threat in the Pacific. The author cites the crucial role of civilian scientists—the "outsiders"—who worked with military staffs and operational commanders of the campaign at sea. Their open minds and objective methods were essential for the application of such technical advances as sonar and radar, acoustic torpedoes, depth finders, and code breaking to the battle. The U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II. Confronting Hitler's Submarine menace in the European Theater by A. Timothy Warnock (1999)Abstract: Perhaps one of the least known but significant roles of the Army Air Forces (AAF) was in antisubmarine warfare, particularly in the European-African-Middle Eastern theater. From the coasts of Greenland, Europe, and Africa to the mid-Atlantic, AAF aircraft hunted German U-boats that sank thousands of British and American transport ships early in the war. These missions supplemented the efforts of the Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force Coastal Command, and the U.S. Navy, and helped those sea forces to wrest control of the sea lanes from German submarines.
