Re: Coastal Command Rocket Liberators...
Hi Kyrre,
The 311 Sqn Liberators attacked U-1060, a VIIF variant near Fleina island on 29th October 1944. There were three crews briefed for attack.
BZ723, PP-H ... attacked second, fired 16 rockets and 4 bombs in 4 rounds; 8 hits
FL949, PP-Y ... attacked first, fired 16 rockets and 4 bombs in 6 rounds; 7 hits
BZ720, PP-G ... crashed several minutes after t/o, 5 dead and 4 injured
The squadron successfuly used SAP60s against U-boats and ships from Autumn 1943 till Spring 1945. From bases situated in SW and N parts of Great Britain.
Hope this helps,
Michal
