Re: Z1007 shot down 16 June 1943
Hi Brian!
From the history of the 30° Stormo by Maurizio Circi, edited by the Italian AF Historical Office:
On 16 june 1943 a CZ.1007 bis out for an offensive recce mission west of Cyprus didn't come back to Rhodos:
Ten. Col. Pil. Castelnuovo Grimaldo, S.Ten. Pil. Marino Salvatore, Serg. Arm. Fusco Antonio, Serg. Mot. Mezzabotta Nello, Av. Sc. Marc. Trebbi Alberto, Av. Sc. Mot. Ineguale Armando.
Search operations between Capo Anamar and Adalia Gulf were useless.
On 24 june news arrived about the fate of the bomber: after having suffered some attacks by enemy fighters it had to land in the sea in Antalja Gulf (Turchia): all the crewmembers left the wreck with lifeboat and were interned at Antalja.
No details about CZ.506
Best regards
Gianandrea
