CATALINA ATTACK BY JOHN WYNNE HOPKINS
D for Donald of 270 squadron, Royal Air Force, out of Freetown, West Africa
operating in the Atlantic Ocean. It was during routine operation search that D
for Donald surprised U515 on the surface and immediately attacked the submarine.
U515 in putting up stiff resistance blew a large hole in the hull of D for
Donald and the magazine of the starboard side 0.5 twin Browning was hit and the
subsequent shrapnel wounded both blister gunners. U515 escaped but was sunk by
an American naval hunter group a year later. D for Donald limped back to base
and managed to make the beach before it would sink completely.

6th June 1944 (Dakotas) by Ivan Berryman co-signed by a pilot of
271 Squadron
As part of Operation Overlord in June 1944, it was necessary to deploy
large numbers of troops quickly and accurately to the fields and bridgeheads
of Northern France. No aircraft was better suited to dropping paratroopers
and their equipment than the ubiquitous Douglas Dakota, these examples
being of No.271 Squadron from Down Ampney near Gloucester.
