Re: Fiat CR.32
Many thanks Håkan and Ludovico
Indeed interesting info. Look forward to your book. Checked the CR.32 units at Italy's entry into WW 2 and found actually six Gruppi equipped with the type, 2nd, 3rd, 8th, 17th, 24th and 160th! Quite surprising. Three independent squadriglia, 163rd, 410th and 411th were also equipped with the type.... The successes you mention by Veronese, an outstanding pilot as it happened, was achieved by using diving ability to momentarily achieve higher speed and surprise during the attack. Veronese was after all shot down by a second Hurricane to the one he managed himself to shoot down. Strangely enough Shores only verify 4 + 2 kills to Veronese. No Battle and only four Blenheims. Perhaps the whole story will be in your book?? Cheers Stig
