Re: Italian ANR losses

That would mean that no other ANR losses took place in that period. Any other aircraft which operated over northern Italy until January 1944 was either German or under German control, except for the ones already reported in the previous replies.

So, in some cases (like the transportation of recovered Italian aircraft to Germany, almost completely done by Italian pilots of the so-called G.T.V. - Gruppo Trasporto Velivoli - which wasn't part of the ANR until May 1944), the data of some accidents and/or losses could appear in the QM returns, but not on a regular and complete basis, AFAIK.

You can certainly understand that in that period there were many "grey" areas, not officially defined and regulated.

A different case was the use of the Macchi C.205 by II./JG 77, whose losses in training accidents are reported in official documents.

Hope this helps.
