Attacks on U-608 during this patrol
13 Oct 1943
At 18.58 hours, the boat was attacked by an American Avenger aircraft (VC-9 USN/T-9, pilot Lt(jg) H. Fryatt) from USS Card about 600 miles north of the Azores. U-608 crash-dived as the aircraft passed over the boat and dropped a Fido homing torpedo about 50 metres ahead, but without result. AA splinters had cut the hydraulic line for the starboard landing wheel, so the Avenger had to land as last aircraft in the evening. It collided with the island and hit a parked Avenger, but was later repaired. The crew was unhurt and a sailor who fell overboard during the mishap could be rescued. (Sources: Franks/Zimmerman)
