ARTESH
1st Sergeant
Greetings, a little help is needed with this plane or Squadron, if no info about plane.
3 Jul 1943
The sinking of U-628 1405hrs, NW of Cape Ortegal, outbound: British Liberator FL963 (224 Sqn RAF/J, pilot S/L P.J. Cundy, DFC) dropped 18 35lb A/S bombs on an initial attack run (the first use of this new weapon), then followed up with four depth charges. Survivors were seen in the water after U-628 sank, but none were rescued. Despite flak hits to a fuel tank and the fin, rudder and starboard wing, the aircraft returned to St. Eval to make a safe landing. (Sources: Franks/Zimmerman)
S/L : Senior Lieutenant?
also what does "J" stands for ??? After RAF.
And is there any way to find more info about this pilot ??? (Sorry, I couldn't find where to ask about pilot.)
have a good weekend.
