Re: Ca 311 shot down in Yugoslavia on 6 March 1942

Hi Laurent,

Right you are - 39º Gruppo BT arrived at Mostar on 20 Jan 42 and was equipped with Br 20 and one or two Fi 156 until it was disbanded at Mostar on 4 June 43.
65º Gruppo OA arrived at Mostar with Ca 311 in Aug 41 and retained them until it departed for Libya in Jul 42.
So if it wasn’t a hack, 65º Gruppo OA seems to be the right one.

However, what if the Caproni actually belonged to another unit in Yugoslavia or Albania and had just stopped at Mostar to RON and or gas up? Did the RA’s equivalent of the Luftwaffe’s Gen.Qu.(6.Abt.) Verlustmeldungen survive the war?

Best,

Lawrence
