Loss of a SM82 on 20 April 1941
Hello,
On 20 April 1941 the Savoia-Marchetti SM.82 MM60325 of 149° Gruppo crashed into the sea shortly after taking-off from Benghazi. I would like to know the fate and name of the crew and passengers. And also confirmation of the above whose source is Internet. Thanks in advance Laurent |

Re: Loss of a SM82 on 20 April 1941
Dear Laurent
I have the same piece of information from one of my books. The plane apparently fell in the sea off Benghazi and the crew went lost. Commander was cap. Loris Pivetti (born in Ferrara on 5 February 1908) that won a posthumous "Medaglia d'Oro al valor aeronautico". I don't have the names of the other crewmembers, nor other details. Ludovico |
