Identity of German aircraft attacking ship between Cyprus and Alexandria, 22 March 1941?
The Brazilian ship Taubaté reported being bombed and machine-gunned by an aircraft bearing black crosses on 22 March 1941 while in transit between Cyprus and Alexandria. Her exact position was reportedly 32 degrees, 43 minutes North and 30 degrees, 51 minutes West.
The bombs were near misses, but the machine guns caused casualties amongst the crew.
Is this sufficient information to establish which German unit carried out the attack, and with what aircraft?
Many thanks,
Sid,
