INTENSE NEAR GIBRALTAR

___Eleven of the attacks on U-boats by airplanes patrolling in the Gibraltar area were made by Lockheed Hudsons whose crews have specialised for many months in anti-submarine warfare.

___Two of the squadrons taking part in this night and day sea air battle, the most intensive U-boat hunt of the war, are English auxilliary squadrons which first built up a reputation against the enemy's coastal shipping.

___One of the U-boats was attacked twice within ten minutes. After the attack it was left cruising slowly in small circles with its bows sticking high out of the water.

___Next day a submarine was sighted on the surface by a patrolling Hudson.

___As the submarine dived the Hudson released its stick of bombs accross the track. The airmen waited to see the result. First they saw a large patch of debris come to the surface and as the Hudson flew low over the.....the pilot saw bodies among.... Then came the tell-tale air bubbles.
