Re: Bougie, 11.XI.1942
Andrzej...
Apparently on 9 November, 1942, there were some Italian airforce units in action against the Allied landings off the coast of Algeria. The Italian involvement was in conjunction with Luftwaffe machines, using both conventional bomber and torpedo-bomber aircraft, with little success. A total of fourteen German and Italian machines were lost off Bougie on this day, including the machine of Gruppenkommandeur and RKT Hauptmann Karl Barth, II.Gruppe/KG26, along with two Junkers Ju88s and possibly a further Heinkel from III.Gruppe/KG26.
I have no information as to the particular Italian units or aircraft used, but perhaps someone else on the forum could assist with that information.
Regards
