Hello Lorenzo,
From Tony Woods files
"15.06.42 - Ltn. Franz Schiess - 17 - Stab/JG 53 - Beaufighter - 500m - Insel Linosa - Tiefflug - 15.15 - Film C , 2033/I - Anerk: Nr 101".

Not unusual for Pilot in combat to miss-identify his opponent.

Also lost in the Mediterranean area on the 15th June 1942 were -
14 Sqdn lost 2 Blenheim 's in the Egyptian area.
39 Sqdn lost 3 Beaufort's in the Mediterranean area.
69 Sqdn lost 2 Baltimore 's in the Mediterranean area.
227 Sqdn lost a Beaufighter I in the Mediterranean area.
235 Sqdn lost a Beaufighter VIc in the Mediterranean area.
272 Sqdn lost 2 Beaufighter Ic's in the Mediterranean area.
159 Sqdn lost a Liberator in the Egyptian area.
These losses are from the Henk Welting's files.

Alex
