U-108 in DR11.
Seventh Patrol Assigned to Port of Spain.
Very long trip.
One ship sunk.
Attacked by one airplane. Fired on plane as approached. Dived when plane passed. Before we could get under the plane turned around and began shooting at us again. Plane crashed shortly after we got safely under water.

On return trip no hydrophone contact. No sightings. No contact updates. No radar hits. Radar use problematic with high seas.
Weather 2 Sea 6.
Changing course for DR77 hoping to pick up convoys heading towards New York. Plan to dock with new U-boat in CC for fuel.
