Larry, thanks for the additional informations.

I've made a quick search. The only italian book with details about the P.108C operational record is, AFAIK, the volume number 9 in the serie "Dimensione Cielo" (printed in 1976).
Then, Hans Werner Neulen published a very good article about Transportfliegerstaffel 5 in "Avions" 164 (7-8/2008).

These two sources report only two losses: G6+FY (former J4+AH "GENERAL") destroyed at Salonicco on 6 october 1944 during an air raid and J4+EH crashed on 5 april 1944 in bad weather near Obereisendorf (13 killed) during a flight from Muehldorf to Zilistea (Rumania).

"Dimensione Cielo" adds a P.108 "probably" s/d by the flak near Athens but this info is not present in the Neulen study.

These two sources give different versions about the final aircraft fate: according to the old italian book, in may 1945, after the end of the war, at least 4 P.108 and 2 Ju.90 were set on fire by german personnel in an airport near Neufahen (?) north of Muenchen; according to Neulen, most of the aircraft that served in the 14./TG 4 were parked at Neufahrn, near Freising (north of Muenchen: so, the same place), most of them being destroyed by allied aircraft before the end of the war.

I wonder if any other loss occured or if anyone has got details of the losses mentioned by Larry. Then, do any AI.2 (g) report (or similar document) mention any P.108 in Germany?

Thanks in advance

Gianandrea
