I didn't say I consider the guy a moral role model . . . but he was a very effective leader.

Yes, I don't really give a damn that he smoked, he was a great leader, and something we needed at that time.

He was definitely needed. Especially following Chamberlain.

The Cat was smoother. The Sunderland was too portly.

I can get the figures but it will take some time.

Well that was a lot easier than I first thought.

The Totals are
Number of U Boats sunk by the Sunderland 27
Number of U Boats sunk by the Catalina 37

I thought i was going to have to troll through an entire website about U Boats, when they were sunk and by what to find the Info, but the Info I required was part of an Aicraft History Section within the main site, which covers all Aircraft used in the battle of the Atlantic.

So the Cat sank more U-boats and was more versatile. It looks like this is swinging heavily towards the Cat.
