Italian RSI raid on Bari Harbour July 6 1944
Does anyone know any informations or detail about this raid on Bari Harbour?
On July 6, 5 or 6 SM 79 BIS of Aeronautica Repubblicana of fascist RSI sunk 1 allied ship (name?) and damaged another two without problems. Only a aircraft was lost by AA fire on Ancona. Best regards Nuccio |

Re: Italian RSI raid on Bari Harbour July 6 1944
Once again, you'll find some information on the aircraft involved in the raid (all their codes) in "Air War Italy 1944-45" (Beale, Damico & Valentini; Airlife 1996, ISBN1 85310 252 0).
What the book doesn't confirm is whether any of the ships claimed sunk or damaged were actually hit. There is no corresponding loss in the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Station War Diary for February 1944 - March 1945 (UK National Archives: AIR23/1470) |
