Benina and Berka (Libya), June 1943

[Leendert]

Fabrizio,

Could it well be that the raid was in the night of 17/18 June 1943 and not on 20 June 1943?
One of the B-24s destroyed was named "Arkansas Traveller" (41-23781)

Just two Italian commandos were involved (they surrendered).

In the online book "Italian Navy and Air Force Elite Units and Special Forces 1940-45"
by Piero Crociani it is written that the two "Arditi" destroyed and/or damaged 2 x B-24 and 2 x Wellingtons.

Regards,

Leendert
