Thank you Mi. I'll keep trying tonight and if it doesn't work I'll PM you. I get this when I tried for 1940

Yes - I get same error when I manually type in the address because I cannot find a link in the index

All good now Mi. I had no problem downloading 1942 using Chrome. Thanks for the offer. It would have been nice to have 1940 to complete the war years. I just sent them an email as maybe they are unaware that the PDF no longer works

No sweat - I also sent them an email so hopefully they can complete the set

No I had not. Thanks for the heads up. I will put it on my monthly check list
Very interesting article on the ABC system - a pity there are no photos to go with it.

The U-boat Wars 1939-1945 (Kriegsmarine) and 1914-1918 (Kaiserliche Marine) and Allied Warships of WWII - uboat.net

Whoa, you say. U-boats in an aviation forum. Bear with me. First off, this is a fantastic site for all things U-boaty. First off, the U-boats...

​

Click on the U-boat index and we have over 1100 pages of U-boats listed...

​

But wait...there's more. Click on the "Allies" button and it brings us to the reason we're here, the "Aircraft & Air Forces" button. 249 U-boats sunk by aircraft alone.

​

Click in the aircraft and it gives you a history of the type and at the bottom of the page it gives you a list of U-boats sunk, in this case, the Lockheed Hudson

​

We also have an "Allied Aircraft Lost to U-boats" button

​

This brings up a calendar of events

They must have changed the link over in Bomber Country in Post #275 so I've updated it
