Re: Italian loss June 10th 1943, Mediterranean?

A 14 Squadron Marauder with Flt Sgt Bates shot down a three engined aircraft that morning in the Tyrrenian sea, as reported in Winged Promises, History of 14 Sq. RAF 1915-1945, by Vincent Orange and Lord Deramore.

So, there were two episodes: one with a SM.82 at Cap Granitola, Sicily, and another one with the Bates Marauder and the SM.73 near Capraia Island (off Leghorn)
