italian pilot Felice Squassoni passed away
Hello,
With sadness I note that the Italian pilot Felice Squassoni (http://surfcity.kund.dalnet.se/italy_squassoni.htm) passed away on 29 July 2008. Is there anyone, who knows when he was born? Best wishes/Håkan

Re: italian pilot Felice Squassoni passed away
It's a sad thing to learn of the death of a friend, even more if publicly...
Since Felice was so kind and trustful to share with me most of the memories of his past, I guess that the best reply to the question posed is the second page of his ANR log-book ... As a sidenote, I'm proud to have been able to make Felice meet with both the pilots who shot him down in WW2: Here is him twenty years ago with Charles C. Eddy, who shot him down on April 2, 1945, during the big combat between the Bf 109s of 2° Gruppo Caccia ANR against the P-47s of the 350th FG USAAF... The other one was S/L Murray Nash (3 Sqn, RAAF) who didn't exactly shoot him down, but forced him to a high-speed crash-landing among a field of vineyards on December 26, 1945. Nash flew from Australia to meet him. Felice remained in contact with both pilots until recently. I'll miss a great friend and a true gentleman.
