Re: Claims of Italian night fighters 1940-43?
ciao,
the pilot claiming with Serg. Vito Rinaldi on 7 Devember 1940 was S.Ten. Francesco De Seta.

The night of 2/3 November 1941, over Tripoli Ten. Egisto Andaḷ of 154 Squadriglia 3° Gruppo C.T. claimed Wellington IC X9763/U of 40 Squadron

The night 5/6 November 1941, over Tripoli, pilots of 3° Gruppo claimed three probable victories over Wellintons ( not corroborated by RAF records).

Andaḷ claimed another Wellington the night of 28 March 1942, possibly the Mk.II coded Z8337/P

At 22.30 on 31 May 1942, Ten. Renato Talamini of 80 Squadriglia 17° Gruppo 1° Stormo claimed a Wellington over Derna. 148 Squadron lost two planes the same night and Bf 110 nightfighters claimed one so one should be the victim of Talamini.

All the above victories were claimed on CR 42s.
