Giusseppe Pesola, evasion story
Guys:
I was re-reading Shores & co's Air War in the Med & came across the story of RA Ace Giuseppe Pesola; he was shot down & taken prisoner but escaped & evaded capture for nearly a year (in Egypt, presumably?) It sounds like a fascinating story & I was wondering if he or somebody else wrote about this? TIA NM

Re: Giusseppe Pesola, evasion story
Some details, in Italian but Google can translate correctly:
http://www.ilmattinodifoggia.it/news...-italiana.html Far more details, but harder to translate as it is a PDF of the picture type: http://www.avia-it.com/act/cera_una_...ppe_Pesola.pdf According to the second document, he evaded on 16 June 1942 and was arrested with his co-evaders and helpers on 11 July 1943. More on his death on 14 November 1944 http://www.freeforumzone.com/discuss...px?idd=8845353
