| Hello Alfredo Thank's a lot for this infos. Some white patches less for me. I stepped a little deeper into these attacks and found this: July 5th attack was made by OSU2 aircraft too. It belongs to VS-2, the same unit witch attacked U-129 on july 18th again. The attacks of 5th are shown in this way: 12:30 o'clock in position 21�40'N-85�40'W 15:00 o'clock in position 21�45'N-85�38'W target propably slightly damaged (Gulf Sea Frontier) July 18th attack was made by VS-2 with a OSU2 aircraft: 17:22 o'clock in position 22�20'N-85�35'W no more details given (Gulf Sea Frontier) July 22nd attack was made by a Catalina (PBY-5) of VP-81: 04:20 o'clock in position 23�29'N-81�47'W no more details given What I don't understand is the minimal time difference of just two hours between german and US time. Any expanation? Best regards Roland Berr PS: It seems that no mexican aircraft attacked U-129 |
