Re: Italian Ace B-17 victory
Dear Garth,
according with the official history of 8° Gruppo C.T. written by Generale Giuseppe Pesce, the B 17 was claimed on September the 3rd 1943 and fell in the sea off Marina di Massa. This information is apparently confirmed also by the personal logbook of Comandante Petrosellini (that, however I've not had occasion to check personally).
It seems that in the occasion, Petrosellini was flying a C 200 fighter.
I don't know if the bomber really went down but it could had been as well an incorrectly identified B 24.
Regards
Ludovico
