Hi, Byron.

Thanks a lot for your precious contribute, which enforces further my sensations...

It seems that we are well on the way to exclude any operations of Italian fighters in that area after the Armistice of Sept. 8, 1943. This would be coherent to what happened in the Aegean islands after that date.

At the same time this cannot exclude that single or groups of volunteer Italian pilots/military did join the Germans and were eventually put into service - on German planes.

This not to sustain what reported (based only on oral memories of a single person) in the text of Vigna, but rather to try to explain the loss of Serg. Sancristoforo apparently in action.

So far, this is the best explaination I'm able to formulate...
