[Ludovico Slongo]

Dear Brian,
I've had a more careful look into my books but I've found only confirmation of what stated by Leendert and no new pieces of information on combat claims.
To summarize:
154° Gruppo formed the fighter force of Italian aviation in the Aegean island on September the 8th 1943. It had eight C.202 (six combat ready), thirteen Fiat G50bis (five combat ready), and nineteen CR 42 (eleven combat ready) on strenght, plus five additional CR 42 (three combat ready) for nightfighter duties.The bulk of the Gruppo was based in Rhodes Maritza, the nightfighter section in Rhodes Gadurrà and finally a section of three CR 42s, two G50bis and two C202s was based in Kos. Apparently Morganti was the OC of the section of Kos.
After the armistice most of 154° Gruppo sided with the Germans, later escorting the Luftwaffe aircraft attacking Leros. The section of Kos instead, sided with the Allies, and on September the 10th, Morganti attacked a formation of (reportedly) JU 88s claiming one shot down. The day after a reprisal bombing attack on Antimachia destroyed on ground two CR 42s and damaged a G50. A pilot of the section then escaped to Rhodes in another CR 42 not willing to fight against the Germans. The RAF planes arrived -apparently- on September the 12th and the surviving Italian fighters (the C202s and one G50) start to collaborate with them. It is not stated if they claimed more victories but it is possible that at least two of the planes finally escaped to Turkey.
Most of these pieces of information come from the book on 154° Gruppo written in 2008 by my friend Eugenio Eusebi and Pietro Mazzardi.
Ciao
Ludovico
