Reverse

The Battle of the Atlantic - Split between an above-water and an underwater perspective, the ominous scene recreates the moments before the tragic sinking of HMCS St. Croix on September 20, 1943. In the skies overhead, a B-24 Liberator is representative of the Very Long Range (VLR) anti-submarine aircraft that provided air support and helped turn the tide of war in the mid-Atlantic. Bearing the markings of Royal Canadian Air Force Squadron 10, the aircraft patrols the waters south of Greenland and Iceland, where it has signaled the presence of a U-boat to St. Croix.
