High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The provision of war supplies from the United States to the North African theater was difficult, expensive, and time consuming. German U-boats had taken complete control of the North Atlantic Ocean routes making shipping in the North Atlantic Ocean hazardous to American warships and merchant vessels. In order to transport American soldiers and war supplies to North Africa, it became necessary to open up an air corridor between South America and West Africa. Except for a secondary route through Central Africa, this wartime air route was North of the Equator and technically, in the North Atlantic. The phrase "South Atlantic" was used then as now to differentiate this particular route from the important Newfoundland to Prestwick air bridge.
