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.
