The Civil Air Patrol sank two U-boats?!?

From Wikipedia:

"The CAP's first kill was claimed with one of the larger aircraft. The Grumman Widgeon amphibian, armed with two depth charges and crewed by Captain Johnny Haggins and Major Wynant Farr, was scrambled when another CAP patrol radioed that they had encountered an enemy submarine but were returning to base (due to low fuel). After scanning the area, Farr spotted the U-boat cruising beneath the surface of the waves. Unable to accurately determine the depth of the vessel, Haggins and Ferr radioed the situation back to base and followed the enemy in hopes that it would rise to periscope depth. For three hours, the crew shadowed the submarine, but it didn't rise. Just as Haggins was about to return to base, the U-boat rose to periscope depth, and Haggins swung the aircraft around and aligned with the submarine and dove to 100 feet (30.48 meters). Farr released one of the two depth charges, literally blowing the submarine's front out of the water. As it left an oil slick, Farr released the second charge and debris appeared on the surface, confirming the U-boat's demise and the Civil Air Patrol's first kill."

Other articles also report that the CAP had two confirmed kills. The CAP also spotted many U-boats and feigned dive-bomb attacks to force them to submerge, spotted large numbers of floating mines, reported many vessels in distress, and helped co-ordinate rescue efforts.
