NO WAY MAN! A Uboat kaleun asea (with six officers on the con with him) sees what he sees and that's IT BBY! http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2302055#post2302055

At any rate, thanks for finding that account. It helps clear things up a bit.
Your welcome! A little too BLUE TO B TRUE! The account lists interesting maneuvers by the Garros plane: an almost vertical climb-to throw the bomb; a loop; and an engine restart and an 'escape climb' through gunfire to 700 meters (from 40 meters) Very detailed-lending to credibility- and accurate enough to indicate not a carburetor induced engine quit. Mauser fire or a machine gun? at a range of 'only 100 meters' is pretty point blank. No doubt the officer saw it all from a good vantagepoint... I doubt M. Garros was paying attention to details just then
