Claims with Spit IX & Spit VIII

[Many Souffan]

Bonsoir.

I would like to know if someone know how many claims against FW 190, the RAF reported during the period from 1st october to 6th november 1943 over south of Italy?

My second question how many claims of these FW 190 were by Spit IX and by Spit VIII ?

By advance thank you.

Don't forget that USAAF Spitfires were involved too.

Many;

Destroyed only claims for the period you requested:

Spitfire Vc 3

Spitfire VIII 6

Spitfire IX 2

Total 11.

US Spitfires, no claims for FW190s, and nor did French Spitfires claim any. The only other claims for 190's over Southern Italy were 1 by US P-40's and 2 By P-38s.

Regards

Russell

Bonjour Nick.

Thank you very much for your answer.

I know that, of course.

My main research is about American pilots (especially L.C. Wade and Sandy Kallio) in the RAF inside of DAF over Sicily and southern Italy and the use of the new Spit VIII...

Thank you again. Have a nice day.
