Re: Italian aircraft and their top aces

Good afternoon Gentlemen,

I just finished working through Brian Cull's marvellous "249 at Malta" which is highly recommendable to all because of its wealth of information presented in a very delightful style.
https://www.amazon.de/249-Malta-Top-...s=249+at+malta
On page 20/21 it is suggested that on 4Sep1941 Franco Lucchini was part of a group of 30 pilots who jointly claimed 16 kills (although only 8 RAF machines took part in the fight).

Mr Gustavsson's website offers a further 33 shared kills (2 SCW and 31 WW2), 6 of which lack the number of pilots involved.

I wonder if it's possible to identify the dates and decimals of all of Lucchini's 52 shared WW2 kills.

Cheers,

Michael
