My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

Antisubmarine Platforms
In the last post, I mentioned that B-17s were used as antisubmarine platforms as well as bombers.
I looked up anti submarine platforms and Wikipedia, under Antisubmarine Warfare listed antisubmarine platforms as being both air, sea and underwater. And it was the use of mines and torpedoes.
So, a B-17 encountering an enemy submarine would drop torpedoes or mines on it.
That is an antisubmarine platforms.
