Re: U-281: B-24 and Sunderland attack, info needed please

According to Clay Blair there were two U-boats involved here, the other being U-470 whose AA was responsible for the Sunderland loss ( the Sunderland ditched near the frigate Drury of ONS-20). U-470 was then attacked and sunk by two B-24s of 120 sqdn. and one of 59 sqdn. Blair does not mention U-281.
