S.79 loss October 1943
The Osprey Combat Aircraft n.106 for S.79 Torpedo-Bombers units show the hi-jacking of an S.79 in Oct.1943. It states that the aircraft on a flight from Foligno to Gorizia was taken over by S.Ten. Carlo Alberto De Felici (KIFA 1948) and forced to fly towards Allied held territory. When the pilot M.llo Giovanni Riso tried to make a wheels up landing he was shot by De Felici . The aircraft was then belly-landed near Molfetta where British servicemen attended to the wounded Riso who died of his wound on 22nd. Oct. All I could find out was that the unit was Gruppo Transporti Veliolvo who also lost S.Ten pil. Adriano Italico Povoleri on the 16th. Oct. is it known if he was part of the same crew, or lost in a separate incident .
