In a similar statement, Air Min- ister Gibson said that when a com lete aerial umbrella was es- tabl shed over the North Atlantic in the spring of 1943 the R.C.A.F. assumed the task oi continuous convoy protection from Canadian shores to mid-Atlantic. The two statements were issued in conjunction with a British Ad- miralty summn of the Battle of the Atlantic, re eased by the Brit- ish Information Services in New York. Mr. Abbott said the R.C.N. from the beginning of the war accepted increasing responsibilities to the point that from April September. 1944, which included the critical invasion period, all trade convoys between North Am- erica and Britain were escorted by Canadian warships. For a con- siderable period in >1943p§pdw1944 more than B0 per cenfbf convoy es- gzrtNwas the responsibility oi the .C. . He said that the largest con- voy ever to cross the Atlantic- 167 ships-was escorted entirely by Canadian warships without t2}: loss oi a single merchant s p. Col. Gibson said that in two days in the summer of 1943 a single R.C.A.F_. squadron of Lib- crators operating from Gander, Nfld.. launched six attacks against German U-boats. In addition, the R.C.A.F. pro- vided an anti-submarine squadron m operate out of Iceland United Kingdom and it was not unusual for an RCAF. aircraft operating from Newfoundland to take over at mid-Atlantic the task of shepherding a convoy from an- other R.C.AI‘. aircraft operating from a.
