Re: S 82 losses
In the Ali D'Italia book on the SM.82 they have some other S.82s damaged or lost that i would like more info on:
p6 one coded GS force landed in Lybia Experimental Bomber group of the 5th Squadrilia looks like the prang occured in 1940
p7 31 jul 40 MM.60277/ 608-2 malfunction of handley-page slats causes prang on take off
p14 MM.60395 of 607 Squadria flying from Tripoli to Castelvetrano on 3 Feb 42 attacked by 4 Beafighters crashland at Pantelleria by Lt Vimercati with 3 killed
p23 a picture of a shot up 618 squadria S.82
p24 picture of Lt Setti with 607-3 the sole survivor of a 5 plane formation who landed his plane on a Tunisian beach. He was the only non-posthumous transport pilot to get Gold Medal.
The Italeri book on the S.82 has a picture of what looks like 601-12 all shot up and patched up.
