Another attack on a U-boat, 19/09/44

Hi,
On the 18th September 1944 U867 was attacked off the Norwegian coast by Mosquitos from 248 and 235 Sqns. The U-boat was left in a damaged condition and unable to dive. The next day it was found by a 224 Sqn Liberator and sunk. I don't have an exact location or time.

Again I'm looking for details of the Liberators crew, serial number and code.

Thanks,

Alex

Hello Alex,

according to

-http://uboat.net/boats/u867.htm,
-http://www.u-boot-archiv.de/dieboote/u0867.html
-Paul Kemp´s "U-Boot Verluste",
-Niestlé "German U-Boat losses",

the Liberator´s code was "Q", pilot Flt Lt H. J. Rayner.
Kemp says, U 867 left Kristiansund on 12.9. and was damaged by a Liberator of 248. Sqn.

Greetings

Darius
