Re: Air Attacks on U-Boats, Norway, 17 May 44

I'm the bloke working on the aviation art piece seeking the info on this particular engagement. I am trying to firm up data on the attack. Weather conditions, light level(low from what I've gathered), type of Depth Charge used, weather they were dropped one at a time or in paired salvos, did they use flares to illuminate or not? If second boat was in sight of the first or not. AA set up on the U-Boat, so many different configurations by that point of the war. Would it be tracer from smaller guns or timed/altitude flak.

Trying to do my best at historical accuracy. It was this aircrafts last sortie as it was damaged by AA and sank after landing with one crewman KIA. Would like to have an accurate illustration and paragraph to go with it.

Thanks
Chris Sheppard
