Attacks on U-214 during this patrol
9 Sep 1943
At 15.25 hours, the boat was attacked by an American Avenger aircraft from USS Croatan 92 miles southwest of Santa Maria, Azores. The aircraft, piloted by Lt(jg) J.W. Steere, approached in the clouds with the help of radar and dropped four depth charges, but was damaged in the air intake and the bomb bay by AA fire. One of the depth charges actually hit the bridge, bounced off and exploded about 10 metres from the port side without damaging the boat. (Sources: Franks/Zimmerman)
