On 22 April 1943 at coordinates N5417 W4819. Canso 9764 sinks a U Boat, but there seems to be a little confusion as to which U boat it was. Recently I have been in contact with the son of group Capt Edward Snider who took these pictures with a K-20 Camera on that day.Also is a photo of his logbook, and of interest the last picture where you can see the white hat of the subs Capt. as shes going down.Some more to follow !
