Re: Italians in Tunisia - Skalski's comments
I can't answer with certainty to your question, but, since I'm very interested in the Regia Aeronautica, I hope someone else more competent could partecipate to this topic. I went through my books, and it seems that no Italian fighter ace was reported MIA or KIA in Tunisia during those days. Maybe he was just a brave pilot, not an ace, or maybe he bale out or crash landed.
During the last stages of the Tunisian campaign very few serviciable Mc 202s were left, owing to attrition and war weary. The last Mc 202 equipped units leaving Tunisia in May were, AFAIK, 7° and 153° Gruppi. Maybe if it were possible to look at their lost list ..
Regards.
