Re: Italian activity on 4 March 1943

Hi,

From the Italian records in NARA T821 (kindly provided by Mark):

"4 Mc 202 avvistavano presso Isola Zembra una formazione di 15 bimotori 'Boston' scortati da velivoli da caccia bicode. che stavano bombardando 5 motozattere; 2 Mc 202 intervenuti prontamente raggiungevano bombardieri presso Isola Plane e ne mitragiavano efficacemente due. 1 nostro Mc.200 per cause imprecisate e precipitato in mare."

So it would seem that there was no enemy involvement in the loss.

Cheers,
Andrew A.
