Re 2002 lost on 29 May 1944

On 29 May 1944 a Reggiane Re 2002 of 238a Squadriglia, 101° Gruppo, crashed at sea near the Isole Tremiti islands, Adriatic Sea, and the pilot was killed.

I would like to know the name of the pilot (and if possible the serial of his fighter). I had a note (but with no source) that the pilot's name might have been Ferraris (and googling this name is bringing a lot of links, but not related to this loss ).

Thanks in advance

Laurent

M.llo Pilota Ferraris Stefano, 102° Gruppo, 5° Stormo, didn't recover from a dive during bombing exercise with live 250 kg. bomb at the Pianosa island range. MM not known.

Thanks Andrea,

I get confused when I saw your reply, as I knew the island of Pianosa that is near Elba Island, between Italy and Corsica, and so wondered how the same loss could be reported in two different seas.

I now found that one of the Termiti Islands is called Pianosa, so everything is fine.

Best regards

Laurent
