The Italians were allies of Germany. The Italian aircraft manufacturers could not produce sufficient aircraft. After the Allies captured Sicily and landed on mainland Italy, the German Luftwaffe began to decline. The commander of the Luftwaffe in Italy was General Wolfram von Richthofen. The majority of the German fighters were pulled out of Italy for use to fight the Russians and defend their homeland from strategic bombing. Some German units remained to fly supplies and recon. The fighter squardrons were operated by Italian pilots and Germany began to arm them with Messerschmidts Bf-109s and Ju-87 Stukas. For awhile they flew in the Italian RSI isgnia but some flew with German insignia. Source: "Air War in Italy 1944-45" by Beale & D'Amico & Valentini
