Under the Command of Lieut S L C Maydon, Dso, Rn, One of the Navy's Most Successful Submarine Skippers, the Umbra Fought Many Daring Actions and Wrought Much Destruction Among Enemy Shipping. Her Strangest Adventure Occurred Early This Year When She Torpedoed An Enemy Aircraft in Mid-air. Lieut Maydon Sighted An Enemy Supply Ship Being Escorted by Three Aircraft. He Fired a Torpedo and "all That Was Left of the Target Was a Magnificent Column of Orange and White Smoke Rising To Quite a Thousand Feet". He Noticed That Only Two of the Three Enemy Aircraft Were in Sight. "it Was Hoped", Reported Lieut Maydon, "that the Third May Have Gone To Great Heights When the Target Blew Up". Officers and crew of HMS UMBRA, with their Jolly Roger success flag. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
