Here's another quote - from Operation Drumbeat, by Michael Gannon.  If you haven't read it, it is a great book by a historian who did a lot of very careful research.  He's got three or four pages on the success of CAP convincing the Germans to give up their submarine campaign:

I love it!

I can even picture the preview shot of a plane on fire and it's pilot yelling into the radio, "Coastal Base, Coastal Base...Ahhhhhhh"  (splash)

CAP PILOTS: "Mayday...we're sinking!!"

German: "Ja, hello...zis is da German Coast Guard..."

CAP PILOTS: "Help...we're sinking...I repeat...sinking!!"

German: "Ja...wot are you sinking about?"
