GETTING DESPERATE
U=BOAT COMMANDERS ATTEMPTS TO FIGHT IT OUT ON SURFACE. WHEN ATTACKED BY ALLIED AIRCRAFT. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.10 p.m.) LONDON, June 6. “U-boat commanders are believed to be becoming desperate as a result of the successes of Allied planes,” says the “Daily Mail’s” aeronautical writer. “The U-boats, after their recent losses, seem to have changed their tactics, and, when surprised by planes, no longer dive immediately, but more frequently try to ‘fight it out’ on the surface. “The improved gunnery of the Üboat crews has convinced a number of flying-boat captains,” the correspondent adds, “that the Germans are specially training anti-aircraft gunners for service aboard submarines — the changed policy is due to increasing losses.”
