Re: Two Z.501 losses in November 1940

According to the mentioned source, the CANT crashed near the enemy ships whose sailors could see the three cremembers leaving the wreck and the lifeboat that didn't stay afloat. Luckily, a Sunderland was flying in that area and his pilot decided to land even though sea was rough, rescuing the airmen.

So, I think that the italian personnel stayed in see for a short period.
