Re: Greek PZL-24s of 22 Mira 15 November 1940

Brian

Trying to make some sense out of a book named On Spartan Wings by John Carr, which from a general standpoint feels a bit careless about facts and also a bit hard to follow exactly what the author wants to say, has nothing about any PZL losses on Nov 15th.

However he makes a comment that on Nov 17th (at least I THINK he means the 17th, but he could also refer to an earlier named date, Nov 18th) the Italians claimed 6 PZL 24. He makes no statement at all regarding true Greek losses but only a comment that one was flown by Constantine Yannikostas. Looks like the Italians attacked the airfield at Gjirokaster in Albania.

No need to quote from your own book Air War for Yugoslavia Greece and Crete....
Cheers
Stig
