Attacks on U-103 during this patrol
22 May 1943
At 14.48 hours, the inbound boat was attacked by the British Whitley aircraft Z9440 (10 OTU RAF/N, pilot F/S D.W. Brookes) northwest of Cape Finisterre in the Bay of Biscay. AA fire hit the aircraft (misidentified as Halifax) during the first attack run and prevented the crew from dropping their depth charges. U-103 crash-dived and the only slightly damaged Whitley returned safely to base. (Sources: Franks/Zimmerman)
