Re: Italian vs Luftwaffe
Hallo,
apart from the attack on the Cant 1007 on 14.05.44 by JG27, other occasions of Luftwaffe air to air victories are:
on 11.09.1943 Oblt Wolfgand Ernst claimed 2 Ba88 and 1 Cant Z1007 at 10.30 10.33 and 10.40 near La Maddalena (Sardegna). Real italian losses 2 SM79 of 278. Squadriaglia AS and 1 Cant Z1007.
on 23.10.1943 3 Spitfire claimed by Hpm J. Kirschner (2) and Fw H. Bartels around 13.00 over Albania , 2 Re2002 of 258.Squadriglia shot down (Ten Bassi MIA, Cap D'Ottaviano KIA). A good account of this engagement is in Boris Ciglic excellent "Messerschmitt Bf109 The Yugoslav Story".
on 3.04.1944 a Cant1007 of 88. Gruppo was shot down over Podgorica, claimed by Hpm Bruesl NaGr12 as Fiat Br20 (and this is correctly reported in d'Amico-Valentini Regia Aeronautica vol2)
