See the link below for the losses of aircraft by the Germans and Italians. List was too long to put right here.
Yes.
none
It is true. There were not a lot of them but the Italians were there. See link below.
Yes,and they used the Italian's Aircraft for the same purpose in the battle.
A book has been written on this called the Chianti warriors or Chianti Raiders or similar titles. they were Italian airmen seconded to the Luftwaffe, essentially.
Yes,to a considerable exstent they were.
I apologizie for asking this,to ask something different and made a mistake.
Italy and Germany were allies in World War II. usually the Germans had the upper hand in command, control and equipment. Regia Aeronautica ( Roual Italian AF) personnel would be , in effect under Luftwaffe command- operating mainly German aircraft such as Stukas and Ju-88:s which might have either Italian or German markings. it is analogous to say Americans fighting with the Foreign Legion in France in WWi- The French clearly in charge- and often of equipment. the famous Lafayette Escadrille- Lafayette Squadron- used , in combat almost entirely all French made SPAD and Nieuport aircraft- they may have used Curtiss Jennies ( Us made) for trainers, but in the field- used French made planes. Thus all Us air aces in World war I manned French made aircraft. so it goes.
Britain's 'Fighter Command' - the heroic pilots of the iconic Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane. It was to become known as the 'Battle of Britain'
What happened was that the Luftwaffe shifted the majority of their bombing attacks from the cities of Britain to concentrate on the RAF airfields of southern England. The aim was to destroy Fighter Command who were than based at a few large airfields near the French coast. Fighter Command replied by spreading aircraft out to numerous 'satellite' airstrips, often of grass. Tactics also changed to be more effective against large bomber groups.
Yes they did begining in May,1941.
They used most of the same ones that had been developed up to that point-1939-40-They were just painted different colors and inscribed with the Italian Air Force insignias.Source:STROMO!the official magazine of the Regia Aeronautica website
