Re: SM92

The accident took place on 17 march 1944.

The SM.92 was flown (as usual) by the test pilot Magg. Aldo Moggi, on that flight accompanied by the engineer Carlo Balzarini.

The identity of the ANR fighter pilot instead remains to date unknown, as well as his unit. It could have been a C.205 of Squadriglia "Montefusco" or one eventually used by Macchi to protect his airfields at Venegono and Lonate Pozzolo. (1° Gruppo Caccia probably should be not counted as based at that time at Udine-Campoformido, several hundred kilometers from Vergiate.)

Hope this helps.
