Been rather busy placing facilities and eye candy in the SCW ETO 1.50 package.
Many Thanks to the Masters; Corrado, and Major Magee for all the wonderful work on the SCW aircraft.
All missions will be Historical.
26 July 1938 Sottotenente Ranieri Piccolomini of the 65a Squadriglia Assalto destroyed the Asco Bridge over the Ebro with 100kg bombs together with Capitano Miotto (who at this time was the new Squadriglia commander) and Maresciallo Marinelli.
Two hours later he and five other Ba.65s were back to strafe roads around the bridge, but his aircraft was hit by AA fire. With the engine out of order, Piccolomini crash-landed near Gandesa, destroying Ba.65 "16-16", but suffering only minor wounds.
This was probably Piccolominis last combat mission in Spain.
