Wingless Italian fighters piled up at the Castel Benito airfield near Tripoli - possibly waiting for repair. The Macchi 202 under the crane is from the 97th Squadriglia, 4th Stormo Caccia. The aircraft in the left foreground, with the number 375 - 10, is a Fiat G 50 of the 375th Squadriglia. Most of the other aircraft are Macchi 220s. (Thanks to Guido Ronconi for identification.) |
