German submarine attacked and sunk southeast of Ascension Island by four PB4Ys of VB-107 and two B-25s of the U.S. Army. Trying a tight turn to dodge the blasts of depth bombs, the sub is caught between two explosions in a perfect straddle. The screws churn up a small cloud of water aft. Oil has darkened the spray on far side of the U-boat. This was the last attack. Pilot: Lieutenant S. K. Taylor, Jr., USNR. U-848. Incident 4917.
