Re: Another SIAI S.75 lost on 28.3.1942
Do you have more details on the Italian side for 15 November 1942 ?

There was no claim off Tunisia by Allied aircraft, but apparently it was a day of bad weather and at least 5 Allied aircraft disappeared in the same: four Beaufighters of 46 Sqn flying from Gibraltar to Malta, and a Spitfire of 249 Sqn sent to search them. The Spitfire pilot and two full Beaufighter crews were not found, and so one MAY have met the S.75 and dispatched it, but bad weather is also a strong option.
