I would need precise reference of the photo you are speaking of. There was no other P-38 captured by the Italians or in Italian markings, so I really don't know what it was.

Certainly it wasn't an Italian one and I have no informations at all of any P-38 captured by the Germans in the Mediterranean...
At any rate, please trash in the dubstin any reference to Martin Caidin's "Guido Rossi", which was nothing more than the expanded version of a B-series tale involving wife of US bomber pilot going to bed with that
Italish fictional character and then with the betrayed pilot managing to get his revenge by shooting down the P-38 with a YB-40... pityful, pathetic garbage, which shouldn't be touched even with pliers...
BTW, the story of Martin J. Monti was discovered by me in details and published at first in one article in 1992 (it is scanned in one of the links of my previous posts) and then in one of my books in 1996.
