Dear ivanmoe. first some small corrections. Not squadriglie but squadriglia. Squadriglia is singular while squadriglie is plural. Not Tripoltania but Tripolitania, that was the western part of Libya. You've forgiven 20° gruppo caccia terrestre equipped with Fiat G50bis and formed by 151 squadriglia,...

Dear Ivanmoe, I wish to warmly thank Vincent Biondi for the advice he gave you, however, the second volume of Desert Prelude, covers only the air was during the Compass offensive period, from December 1940 to beginning of February 1941, so it is out of scope for your research.

Mario, thank you very much, really. You've used sufficiently simple words to give me a general idea of the subject. I really couldn't hope in more than this. Now I'm leaving for a short period abroad but I'll be back end next week and (if not too much disturb for you) I'll ask some more questions......
