Re: Looking for Spitfires losses over Sicily on the 10th July 1943

Hi Adriano
The book is not totally clear or sure about what brought some of the a/c down. The 2 Americans are recorded as shot down by "friendly" AA fire from US Navy ships.JL 375,F/O L J Connors RAAF ditched(out of fuel) but the pilot drowned,ER706,Lt E C Webb SAAF baled out due lack of fuel and was rescued, EP690, Capt G C le Roux was shot down by a Macchi 202 but his no 2(Webb in ER706)believed it was another Spitfire.JL182,F/Lt T W Savage was KIA by allied Flak or a Bf109, EP440,F/O E S Dicks-Sherwood baled out and was rescued after being shot down either Allied Flak or a Bf109,EN466, F/Lt W R Daddo-Langlois was also brought down by either Allied Flak or a Bf109,he was severely injured and lost his life when the rescue launch was sunk,EN148,F/O G B Blunn was Kia by flak or Bf109,ER 856 crashed after combat with a BF 109,F/O A N Snell became POW, EN295, F/Lt M R Rowland RNZAF was KIA in combat with a Bf109,JL361, F/O L A Stewart was rescued from the sea after combat with a Bf109. Unfortunately the book does not identify the German opponents nor does it give any details about the Allied pilots although I recognise the name Daddo-Langlois from Cull's books on Malta where Langlois is mentioned quite often
Regards
Dick
