Re: Furio Lauri
Hello Michael,
Lauri is a "tricky" one. I've never been able to verify more than two claims for him (both with CR.42) and his total of 11 is disputed. Any additional info on him would be very welcome! Best wishes/Håkan

Re: Furio Lauri
Hello Håkan,
you're right. Massimello and Apostolo in OSPREY's "Italian Aces of World War 2" (p85) deprive him of his acedom. However, I'm looking for a real Italian Fiat G.50 ace. What about Livio Bassi ? Did he score all of his 6 kills in the G.50 ? And if so, is he the most successful Italian of that type ? Michael |

Re: Furio Lauri
...in his wikipedia biographies, updated in 2021/2022, it sounds as if he scored 6 Fiat kills:
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livio_Bassi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livio_Bassi four in the G.50 and two in the G.50bis, correct ? |

Re: Furio Lauri
Has anybody ever heard about an ace with a higher Fiat G.50bis score than Spiridione Guiducci (5 kills)?
