Attacks on U-606 during this patrol
21 Sep 1942
Aircraft attack, aircraft shot down:Norwegian Catalina Mk.III FP525 (330 Sqdn RAF/Z, pilot Lt C.J.A. Stansburg)
At 11.14 hours, the boat was attacked by the Catalina astern of convoy QP-14 northeast of Jan Mayen Island. The aircraft was hit by AA fire during the attack run and its four depth charges fell wide, causing only minor damages to the boat. Two crewmen of the Catalina had been wounded and one engine and the petrol tanks were hit, so they had to make a forced landing near the convoy. The crew was rescued by HMS Marne.
