Attacks on U-155 during this patrol
14 Jun 1943
Aircraft attack, aircraft shot down:Polish Mosquito HJ648 (307 Sqdn RAF/B, pilot S/L S. Szablowski)
At 09.29 hours, four Mosquito aircraft (3 from 307 Polish Sqdn RAF and 1 from 410 Sqdn RCAF) attacked a group of 5 outbound boats (U-68, U-155, U-159, U-415 and U-634) in the Bay of Biscay. The leading Mosquito first strafed U-68 and then U-155, but its port engine stopped after being hit by AA fire and the aircraft was forced to make a belly landing back at the base in Predannack. A second Mosquito, piloted by F/O J. Pelka, attacked too but its guns did not fire and the remaining aircraft did not attack due to the intense AA fire.5 crew members aboard U-155 were wounded, two of them badly. The boat returned to base together with U-68 and recieved the doctor from her for medical treatment of the wounded men.
