| i note the comparation with B-17G was unright, saw the operational time line of P. 108 need comparate with B-17F and E |

| Hi Marcogrifo: P.108s are said to have made at least one claim for Mosquito shot down by defensive fire. Would you have any dates for such incidents? Thx, mhuxt |

sorry to say, I don't know anything about that story but the reported losses of P.108s during the few encounters with allied fighters. Anyway, I'll ask on a well informed italian forum about your request. Cheers | |

| Thanks for that Marcogrifo, it's very kind. The information I once saw posted re: this was apparently from Storia Militare" October-November 2002, but I've never been able to check. Thanks, mhuxt |

BTW I have both numbers of Storia Militare you mentioned and there's there a long article about night operations of axis airforce against allied landing force in Sicily in 1943: I read it again and I can say for sure there's nothing about Mosquito claims by P.108s. And the same answer I got from people by italian WWII aviation forum: none knows nothing at the moment. Cheers  | |

| Many thanks for that Marcogrifo, much appreciated. If I can push my luck, I wonder if the article mentions anything about any Piaggio losses *to* Allied nightfighters? In any case, thanks again for your time & effort in checking the defensive fire information. Cheers, mhuxt |
