In January 1943, US President Franklin D. Roo-sevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill met in secret in Casablanca to plan the next phase of strategy for World War II. In preceding months, German submarines had sunk hundreds of Allied vessels, so crossing the Atlantic by ship to the conference in North Africa was considered too dangerous for the president. FDR boarded a Pan American flying boat, the Dixie Clipper, in Miami and flew by stages to Trinidad and Brazil, then across the ocean to British-controlled Gambia on the coast of Africa. From there, a C-54 transport took him on to the meeting in Morocco. The trip was not disclosed to the public until he was safely back home.
