info 14 april 1944 Italy
 

Hello everybody, I'm an italian researcher and I've just found this forum.
I would like to ask you some questions, maybe someone can help me:

- I am looking for victories or claims of allied pilots (English or American), that have been shot down a german plane in Italy the 14 April 1944.

- I would also need to ask you some information about the Ju 88,'4U+Dh' that was shot down the 14 April 1944 in Italy. It belonged to the 1 (F)/123.

I'd be so grateful to you if you give me these information.

Best regards

Ho Orso

To the best of my knowledge, there are no Ju 88 claims in the Mediterranean by Allied fighters between the night of 12/13April 1944 and the night of 17/18 April 1944. 1 SAAF shot down a 2(F)/122 Me 410 on the 15th.
