Aden June-August 1940
 

Hello,

could somebody help me with matter out of my usual topic. I would like to know more about Air War during battles in British Somalia in June - August 1940. Is there any article or book about this topic? Only 1940.

My questions:


Which Regia Aeronautica Units were involved?
Which RAF Units were involved?
One Gloster Gladiator should be crashed into the sea nearby Aden on July 15 1940. Does somebody know serial, unit, name and fate of pilot and reason of crash?
Three Fiat CR-42 should attack Berbera A/F on August 8 1940. One Gloster Gladiator destroyed, one Gloster Gladiator damage. Are there known serials? Is known to which Regia Aeronautica Unit Fiats belonged? And or names of pilots?
Italians should bombed a British Navy Convoy on September 5 1940. Which Regia Aeronautica Units were involved?

Thanks for help
