Regia Aeronautica Transfer Flight Sept. 1940

[Ludovico Slongo]

Dear Brian,
apparently all the accidents occurred during the 27th of September.
40 bombers of 43° Stormo took off from Cameri (North Western Italy). Only 30 arrived ad Chiévres four hours later.
One bomber crash-landed (unknown place) for an engine breakdown while flying over the Alps (pilot wounded, plane heavily damaged, crew jumped apparently safe).
One bomber landed at Gablingen for an engine breakdown (no further info)
One bomber fell in the area of Munchen (bad visibility and ice in the wings) and was lost (pilots wounded and thre crewmembers dead).
Six bombers landed safely in German airports.
One bomber crash-landed while landing at Ergoding (perhaps Ergelding) and was written off.
Crew apparently safe.
37 bombers of 13° Stormo took off from Piacenza.
Only 30 arrived at Melsbroek.
One bomber landed at Augsburg for an engine breakdown (plane and crew apparently safe).
One bomber landed near Spa for an engine breakdown (plane fate unknown and crew apparently safe).
Two bombers were obliged to land for excessive consumption of lubricant.
One was safe at Frankfurth the other went out of the airstrip landing at Evère and was written off (crew wounded).
Three bombers safely landed at Anversa they too had used too much lubricant.

Looking at your info it seems that the first machine of 43° Stormo crashed after passing the Alps could be that 90% at Reichenbach with 1 injured, while the machine fallen near Munchen with three dead is the one 100% at Wasserberg.

Names of the dead I think I can find and possibly more details on the 13° Stormo machines.

Now I have a question for you. What is the "Falco site" you've mentioned?

Regards

Ludovico
