Hi,
The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress departed Langley AFB on a maritime patrol flight off the east US coast. After passing Cape Hatteras, the contact was lost and the airplane crashed in unknown circumstances into the ocean. No trace of the airplane nor the crew was ever found.
No aircraft shot down by U-boat in March 1942.

Hello,
I think you made a mistake. U-537 sunk on 10 November 1944 in the Java Sea.
