Allied airmen rescued by German U-boats

I've made a thread in the Luftwaffe and Axis Air Forces forum here that lists all known cases in which Axis airmen were rescued by German U-boats: http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showpo...9&postcount=45

Because I was asked to make a similar list about Allied airmen rescued by German U-boats I posted the 7 known cases here in the Allied and Soviet Air Forces forum:
  1. 1939-09-14: U-30 rescued 2 airmen of two Blackburn Skua
  2. 1941-08-26: U-206 rescued crew of a Armstrong Whitworth Whitley
  3. 1943-03-22: U-338 rescued 1 airman of a Handley-Page Halifax
  4. 1943-11-27: U-238 rescued 2 airmen of a Vickers Wellington
  5. 1944-06-18: U-1000 rescued 2 airmen of a De Havilland Mosquito
  6. 1944-10-27: U-1060 rescued 1 airman of a Fairey Firefly
  7. 1945-03-24: U-249 rescued 1 airman of a De Havilland Mosquito
