Re: Claims of 150° Italian Gruppo in Albania 1940

Thanks Daniele, very, very interesting (to me)!

First time I see any Italian war diary...now where is my Italian language hat?...

If I understand these two diaries correctly, it seems to me they chose to differ a bit. Presumably both are, should we say, somewhat 'selfish'? That is of course quite natural, hence the need for a superior Government agency who thus should make a final evaluation and decision. Looks like Malizia read the 160o Gruppo diary but not the 150th.

Anyway, it also shows how problematic such diaries can be. Should we trust one or the other or perhaps even both? Being an aviation historian is not always easy....

Cheers
Stig
