Egan, please find my source in the below:
<Herzog, Bodo. Die deutschen U-Boote 1906-1945. Munich: J.F. Lehmanns
Verlag, 1959. Copyright: J.F. Lehmanns Verlag, Munich, 1959.>
In the section titled “Cooperation Between Aircraft and U-boats” (Page
171) there is a photo of U-255 and the BV-138 together.
The photo is taken from a distance and you can’t see exactly what’s going
on however on page 213 there is a better picture and you can see what
appears to be a fuel hose being played out by the U-boat.
Back on page 171 there is also an intriguing photo of a WWI U-boat S.M.
U-12 with seaplane 204 apparently sitting on its deck!
I have placed photos (and an illustration) related to airsupply to rapidshare server which you can find the link below:
