130° Gruppo AS 15-16Jul43

Do any of our resident Italian experts know the the names of pilots/crews of 130° Gruppo AS (possibly other maritime strike units) that were active on the night of 15-16Jul43 that may have succeeded in putting a torpedo into HMS Indomitable.

Best Regards

According to a study published in the april 1995 issue of the magazine Storia Militare by the late Tullio Marcon, the british carrier was torpedoed by a lonely S.79 of the 204a Sq. (41°Gruppo) piloted by Cap. Carlo Capelli and S.Ten. Ennio Caselli, coming from Gioia del Colle.

Good night
