Re: Italian Night Fighters - Milan - 13/14th Feb. 1943

Hallo Adriano

No help I'm afraid, but are you sure about the date? Bomber Command made no raid on Milan the night you refer to, BUT they flew a Lancaster raid on the night of 14/15 th of Feb.

If it is two Lancaster were lost and one damaged. The damaged Lanc is reported as being attacked by a Fiat CR.42 and set on fire. The Lanc crew claimed the Fiat as shot down and also through diving put out the fire and managed to return home again.

Cheers
Stig
