Re: Wartime Italy, 1940-45
Hi Malcolm - book just received with thanks. A nice production but of course I haven't read it yet. However, I was hoping to find some mention of the 148 Squadron Lysander (T1456) that was shot down in error by US P-51s on 22 November 1944 near Venice. It had departed Fano flown by F/O JFA Rayns with the purpose of delivering two or three agents/SOE to north-east Italy. All were killed but the passengers have variously been described as two British SOE officers, each with DSO, MC & Bar, or three Italian agents. Have you any knowledge/details?
Cheers
Brian
