New list for Stormo Italian Aces-part IV

Post by Vincent Biondi » Fri Jun 05, 2009 11:21 am

Hello Vince,
If you are thinking of adding another list of Italian Aces part IV, here are my picks:
Livio Bassi: G50 - 6 kills
Giorgio Graffer: CR42 - 5 + 4 kills
Attilio Sanson: BF109G - 12 kills
Fausto Fornaci: MC200 - 9 kills
Massimo Salvatore: MC205 - 10 + 5 kills
Claudio Solari: MC202 - 12 + 14 kills
What do you think?
Anyone else have any comments or changes?
Thanks,
Vincent.

Hi Stefano,

Vincent,
Excellent list my friend.I would love to finish my G.50 in Bassi' markings.Even better Bassi' markings in 1/32 scale for my other G.50 kit.
Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Hello All,
Livio Bassi had a very good combat record on the Greek front.
One of his first kills was with a CR42 in which he shot down a Blenheim.
During the rest of the campaign, he flew the G50 with excellent results.
Gregory, I agree with you, Bassi's plane would make a nice subject!
Vincent.
