Maybe I'm a bit too late, but I read the topic only this morning.

I'm involved in a research on 150° Gruppo so had the chance to study some registries of the Unit.

Mario Bellagambi became comandante di squadriglia (364) on Dicember 1, 1941, when still a tenente. And remained in charge until August 15, 1943. As Ferdinando D'Amico already wrote, Bellagambi became capitano the 8-6-42 (with effect from 27-6-42).

Tenente Giuseppe Giannelli was comandante ad interim of 363 squadriglia in the summer of 1942 untill the end of October, when tenente Ugo Drago got that position. So, Ludovico, the only thing I can affirm is that in the autumn of 1942 and in he first months of 1943 he still signed documents as ten. Giannelli. I don't know when Giannelli became capitano.

About 365 squadriglia, we know that in autumn 1942 sottotenente Eugenio Lecchi was comandante ad interim, followed from sottetenente Ettore Caregnato and from a couple of others officers (ad interim) before Giannelli, now in the 365.

Hope that helps.

ciao a tutti
