Convoy PQ18 v He111s I./KG26 mystery
Hi guys
On 14 September 1942, Convoy PQ18 was further attacked by He111s of I./KG26. One of these was able to release its torpedo before colliding with its victim, the American freighter 'Mary Luckenbach', which blew up, killing all aboard bar one. The survivor was described as being a black ships' steward, who was blown in the air and came down about half a mile behind the convoy - uninjured! Perhaps one of our American experts can confirm this and provide the name of the very lucky man. Possibly a report somewhere? Cheers Stay safe Brian
