Re: Italian aircraft and their top aces

Good evening Gentlemen,

Håkan Gustavsson has updated the Teresio Martinoli kill list on his website:
http://surfcity.kund.dalnet.se/italy_martinoli.htm
Additional info about his shared claims can be found here:
https://www.lesasdelaluftwaffe.fr/au...sio-martinoli/
Currently, I'm working through OSPREY COMBAT AIRCRAFT vol.145 "Macchi C.202/C.205V Units in Combat".
Confusingly, Martinoli's final score is indicated as 22+8sh (p31) as well as 22+14sh (back cover). I'm particularly interested in the shared kills:
  1. 4May1942 shared with Querci, according to p18
  2. 9May1942 shared with Lucchini, according to the Italian wikipedia
  3. 3Jul1942 shared with two other pilots
  4. 3Jul1942 shared with two other pilots
  5. 3Jul1942 shared with two other pilots
  6. 16Sep42 shared with one other pilot
  7. 9Oct42 shared with one other pilot
  8. 22Oct42 shared with one other pilot
  9. 4Jul1943 shared with one other pilot
  10. 10Jul1943 shared with two other pilots
  11. 10Jul1943 shared with two other pilots
Can anybody tell me the dates of the other 3 shared kills provided the score of 22+14 is correct?
Furthermore, the German wikipedia says a 23rd personal kill was added later, when was it claimed (maybe a P-40 on 19Aug1942) ?
I also opened a separate Martinoli thread:

Cheers,

Michael
