Dénes,

I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, but I was talking about the Fighter Group...

Anyway:

- aug 16th: the crash was right after the take off from Bucarest (destination Tudora), when the starboard engine of Ca311 (M.M.11654) of 119^ Sq. failed. In the e.l. the plane turned over. Pilot and observer unhurt but radio operator, serg. Pessina, suffered various hurts.
Two more planes had troubles during the flight and were forced to land in Focsani airfield.

- sept 2nd: no activity for 119^ Sq. due to bad weather. There is a note about the death of Airman Petrucci (not a serg. magg.) on sept 3th. But in the HQ records Petrucci is reported as death in the night of 31 august. He was shoot cause he did not observe the alt of a guard and did not answer the password. He was buried in Botosani cemetery with military honours.

- sept 4th: no informations about Michele Gatti.

Last but not least: about the accident involving the C.200 of Ruspoli, Which are your sources? I have no any informations about it, but I Know that a section of his C.200 is reported in action over Odessa the 28 august...


ciao
