Geoffrey Sinclair offers the following
U-281: B-24 and Sunderland attack, info needed please
U-281 shot down a Sunderland of 422 squadron RCAF (F/Lt P T Sargent). on
17 October 1943. B-24 from 59, 86 and 120 RAF squadrons were present,
making a number of attacks and sinking U-964, U-844 and U-470, you would
need to check the squadron records for reports of unsuccessful attacks.
The Coastal Command weekly summary has B-24 reporting 8 attacks plus 2
sightings South West of Iceland on 17 October.
Action around convoy ONS.20.
