Caro Gianandrea,
dear Robert,

many thanks for your quick responses, which both would support the "Italian solution" of the problem; however, the victims were reported as one Cant and two Bredas, although we all know about the expertise in a/c recognition shown by many Luftwaffe fighter pilots. However: Were there any Bredas around on this day ?

Your very concise answer, dear Gianandrea, leaves me with another question: Just why were these units sent to Sardinia ? Were they to surrender to the advancing allied troops expected there before too long, were they to continue service alongside the Luftwaffe or what was their task ?

Many thanks again for your time and

kind regards

Jochen Prien
