Re: 1º Gruppo Caccia activity - 19 Mar 44

Hello everybody,

I've been following this tread with great interest. Ferdinando's info is somewhat new to me and thus I need to update my own list accordingly. Therefore, I have a couple of questions.
The pilot which baled out on 18 March, was it Sergente Maggiore Luigi Gorrini?
According to Tony Wood's claim lists on 18 March, the Italian fighters claimed:

09.30 Mario Benati, 3./JGr. Italien P-38 15 km. S. Porto Bareloghe 700-800 m. Film C. 2025/I Anerk: Nr.1
09.30 Andrea Stella, 1./JGr. Italien P-38 15 km. S. Porto-Barslaghe Refer: Visconti/Arena f. 337
09.30 Guiseppe Marconcini, 1./JGr. Italien P-38 15 km. S. Porto-Barslaghe Refer: Visconti/Arena f. 337
09.30 Guiseppe Robetto, 1./JGr. Italien P-38 N.E. Lubiana Refer: Visconti/Arena f. 337
09.30 Diego Rodoz, 3./JGr. Italien P-38 N.E. Lubiana Refer: Visconti/Arena f. 337
09.30 Pietro Svanini, 3./JGr. Italien P-38 N.E. Lubiana Refer: Visconti/Arena f. 337

Stella and Benati's claims are verified by Ferdinando
Robetto, Rodoz and Svanini are also verified by Ferdinando but as bombers (B-24?), who also has a shared bomber by Morosi.
Marconcini didn't claim anything.
JG 53 and 77 claimed 3 P-47s, 1 P-38 and 17 B-17s
US Fighters seems to have claimed 18/3/5 according to Olynyk. The Ju52 in Nick's document seem to have been claimed by 1/Lt Thomas F. Rafael, 27th FS, at 09:40 at Treviso A/D.

Is this correct?

Also according to Tony's list Squadriglia Autonoma Montefusco made a couple of claims on 19 March:

Giovanni Bonet, JGr. Bonet ½ B-17 6.000 m. Reference: Arena re. Guest
Biagini, JGr. Bonet ½ B-17 6.000 m. Reference: Arena re. Guest
Guiseppe Biron, JGr. Bonet B-17 6.000 m. Reference: Arena re. Guest
Tommaso Jellici, JGr. Bonet B-17 6.000 m. Reference: Arena re. Guest

Are these claims still valid?

Best wishes/Håkan
