Glad to be of help.

However, please don't get me wrong, but do not fall into the misbelief that a not confirmed series of kills had anything to do with the valour and ability of the man, commander and pilot.

This would be simply untrue. Visconti was one of the finest leaders of the Regia Aeronautica and one of the main figures of the ANR. His figure cannot be disminished by a a recount effected fifty or sixty years later.

This would lead us to debate about the systems of claims and confirmations used by the Regia Aeronautica before and by the ANR later, a system which had many faults and that shifted from privileging "collective" claims until late 1942 to enchanching individual ones from then onwards.

The system was far from perfect before and was even more faulty after, due to the convergence of a series of factor from the Italian air combat philosophy to the obsolete training system, from the lack of a true air combat strategy to the inferior conditions of numbers and planes usually employed.

All this said, the fact that Visconti was credited with 26 victories didn't mean a thing to him, maybe a lot more to those who love numbers as a way to classify things. Luckily, this isn't often applicable to men.
