Re: Italian Night Fighters - Milan - 13/14th Feb. 1943

Hello STIG!
You are correct my friend! I must have mis-read the DATE in question...
I am looking for the identity of the pilot of THIS Fiat CR.42 who was claimed by the Lancaster crew. I thought it should have come from an "Ad Hoc" unit. Do not remember seing on the excellent book "Bomber Command War Diaries" an entry about the weather ( if it was a full moon raid, if there were clouds over the city ) - will have to recheck it - BUT, this Fiat could have come from a Day Fighter Unit also...
Maybe some Italian friend can help us identify this pilot / aircraft.
Thanks for correcting me on the DATE, Stig!
Yours
Adriano
