Does anyone have any information on one, Giovani Motta whom I assume flew with the Regia Aeronautica. I recently inspected all his flying kit and uniform here in the UK. Was he one of the Chianti Raiders or perhaps a POW in the UK from another theatre?

Hello Marco, many thanks for your reply and for your kind offer. I will certainly take you up on that if I need help. Please do go ahead and post the question on the Italian forums. That may be the best and quickest way to find Motta’s history. Kind regards, Simon ( [email]lannoy@btopenworld.com[/email] )
Done, as kindly requested… 🙂
I wish you all the best for this interesting research. Anyway, I suppose we need photos of the battle uniform and the documents, if possible, as well as his rank, and so on. Motta is quite common in Italy, as far as I know.
Thank you and, above all, merry Xmas to you and to all the users of this nice forum.

Hi dear,
If you need translations or help to contact Italian historians or authorities, don’t hesitate to write me.
If you desire, I may post your question on Italian air or warplane fora, too. 🙂
Best regards,
Marco
