Description | Sunderland seaplane and two Junkers by G. H. Davis |
Details |
The giant Sunderland flying boat proves its mettle: two Junkers accounted for out of four attackers. When a formation of four Junkers JU88s attacked a Sunderland seaplane off the coast of Norway, the rear gunner waited until the attackers came to point blank range and then, with one burst from his quadruple guns, sent one enemy straight down into the sea; another Junkers was damaged and lost.
