DiveMonkey, there are a few sites with this info, here is one of the more concise ones:

Good find, thanks

Not a single reported sinking by aircraft. Most not reported, simply, failed to return. A couple accidental sinking's, mechanical failures...I get the feeling this was a leading cause of attrition...Maybe 1.3 will make some improvements in damage model.
