Breaking the Gustav Line - Frame 2 Summary
« on: February 09, 2013, 03:01:06 PM »
Greetings everyone!

The Allied Ace was Pand from the Devil Dogs. He was representing Capt James Fenex Jr who was a flight leader in the 316th FS of the 324th FG. On February 16th, 1944 near Anzio, Fenex shot down a Fw 190 bringing his total number of kills to 3. At the end of March, he led a bombing mission in his P-40 to Anzio, where he claimed two more Fw 190s South East of Rome. Fenex would be the last pilot to acheive ace status flying the P-40 in the MTO.   

In the P-40F Pand shot down 3 enemy aircraft. One C.205 piloted by FBRoamin of the ***FREEBIRD$***, One Fw 190F-8 flown by PCHute of ~364th C-HAWKS FG~ and One Bf 109G-6 flown by Zaphod of ~364th C-HAWKS FG~. Pand Vanished without a Trace. Witnesses from the Devil Dogs say they saw Pand fly into a cloud.  ;)

The Axis Ace was flifast from CLAIM JUMPERS he was representing Major Adriano Visconti who started out in the Regia Aeronautica but after the Italian surrender joined the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana. He was given command of the 1st squadron of the 1st Gruppo Caccia. Visconti got his first kill with the ANR on January 3rd, 1944. He flew the C.205 and Bf109 until the ANR disbanded in 1945. Visconti was killed by communist partisans after surrendering on April 29th 1945.

While flying the C.205, flifast shot down one P-38G flown by BigCat of the 412th Friday Night Volunteer Group and had two assists. Flifast lived but ditched his aircraft.

It's an evil fortune...the ole timers speak about in hushed whispers...

A curse they say of ill luck...a bad omen...

...best cast away and done with.

...the Jonah...  :uhoh
