Re: Italian fighters on Kos

Brian,

An Italian wikimedia site says (at least, I think) that the squadriglia had 2 x C.202, 1 x G.50 and 1 x CR42 at its disposal at the time of the armistice.

The Italians had sided with the Allies and many of them (together with British troops) were taken prisoner in early October 1943 after the Germans had recaptured the island in Operation Eisbär.

Regards,

Leendert
