Re: B-24 missions on August 21, 1942.

An interesting point on the 159 Sqn ORB is that the British crew reported the convoy as 2 merchant vessels, one tanker and one escort (probably a destroyer), so possibly onluy Turbine was actually present when the attack(s) took place.

The lack of details in Italian documents is a pity, because I would like to know if there were two attacks one hour apart or if there was only one, Allied units using two different time zones.
