Re: Claims of Italian night fighters 1940-43?
Albacore of 828. Sqn FAA was claimed by CR.42 of 301a Sq. CN (171o Gruppo CN), second place of the victory was over Comiso. The commander of 301a Sq was capitano Carlo Miani and the commander of 171o Gruppo Autonomo Caccia Notturna (301a, 302a Squadriglia CN) was maggiore Giovanni Buffa. 302a Sq was never activated. Whole unit between 25 October 1941 and 18 December 1941 had claimed 4 probably victories and only one could be confirmed – this Albacore. There were only a few CR.42 CN (no more then 3) most were standard CR.42.
