In transit from the Samar area to the Luzon straights in late December '41. Broad daylight. Aircraft spotted dead ahead about 10,000 yards. See on map he is coming right toward me. His course was slightly off of "coming right towards me" but i knew he would see me if I didn't dive. I hit crash dive immediately. I took a quick look through the Binocs while diving and saw that it was either a Mavis or Emily flying boat. When i am at about 100 ft and going flank, I turn to port 45 degrees just in case he makes a guesstimate shot for my previous course.........another minute goes by and I am at about 150-170 ft running straight. All of a sudden BOOM BOOM and my aft torpedo room and engine room compartments are totally destroyed. flooding quickly.....try to blow ballast but it doesn't stop the sinking.....dead.

I have to ask, how in the world does this plane make an accurate depth charge run on me? This is not the first time a scenario like this has played out either. It's getting really frustrating and doesn't seem realistic.

I know they can spot you at periscope depth but I had gone down twice that depth.

Input anyone?
