CX/MSS/T183/90

From Luftflotte 2 (Roman) IC on 13/5:-
Own ops night of 12–13/5.

115 a/c in concentrated attacks on strongly occupied a/f's at Borgo-Poretta and Alistro (04 East – 9336 04 East – 9359). Very good results from attack … (smudge) … complete surprise for the enemy.

A/F Borgo-Poretto [sic], 16 to 18 a/c — fires and explosions. About 80% of the parked a/c were damaged, of which at least 25% were a total loss.

Alistro a/f, 10 large fires, many smaller fires with explosions.

Our losses nil.
