The great storms of winter already were raging when Convoy SC-32 set sail from New York harbor on December 15, 1942, laden with supplies for beleaguered Britain. They were a portent of what was to become the fiercest winter in the meteorological annals of the North Atlantic. Even so, the sea was the lesser menace.
In an all-out effort to stem the tide of supplies flowing from America to Great Britain and Russia, the U-boats of the Kriegsmarine were massed in the Greenland Gap - that expanse of the mid North Atlantic so named because it was beyond the range of land-based Allied planes. It was in the Greenland Gap where the submarines awaited the trans-Atlantic convoys; secure in the knowledge there was nothing to fear from the skies above.
Lost in the Greenland Gap is a day-by-day account of the crossing by Convoy SC-32 during World War II at the height of the Battle of the Atlantic. Under unrelenting assault by hurricane force winds and German U-boats, the complete disintegration of the convoy threatened.

Lost in the Greenland Gap The North Atlantic Winter 1942 eBook B L Smith T B Smith Reviews
GOOD INTERESTING BOOK!
I may be biased, but in Eugene Francis "Hartigan" in this book is really my grandfather, Eugene Francis Ryan. Those pictures in the book are really him, and I can tell you that the way that he is described, his personality, etc. is 100% accurate. Fascinating book. This is a real story.
Wonderful imagery from a man who knows how to use words to paint a picture. The Battle of the Atlantic comes alive through the eyes of a young Merchant Marine Cadet Midshipman. The terror, the cold, the boredom of weeks on the North Atlantic, seeing ship after ship in their convoy getting picked off by the Nazi wolves of the sea. Wondering if their ship is next to be torpedoed and dreaming of feeling land beneath their feet.
Great book about a WWII Merchant Marine cadet's trip across the Atlantic!
