Hello,


Fredrico Carlo Martinengo had 5 confirmed victories.


1. 16-10-1916 Sqn FBA 408 Place Rovigno

2. 23-10-1916 Sqn LC 252 Place Caorle

Victim L. 138 Viranyi POW & E.F. Hoch POW

3. 4-5-1918 Sqn 260 Place Gulf of Trieste

(with Calvello)

Victim A91 Josef Niedermayer POW

4. 4-5-1918 Sqn 260 Place Gulf of Trieste

(with Calvello)

Victim A78 Franz Boros POW

5. 4-5-1918 Sqn 260 Place Gulf of Trieste

(with Calvello, allthough Calvello in his logbook
claimed 2 victories, Ago 91 and Ago VI ?????)

Italians believed the A marking Austrian seaplane fighters,
standing for Abwehr, defense, meant Ago, an easy name
to remember, and appropiate too, meaning needle in
Italian.

Victim A82 Gottfried von Banfield Unh. FTL



Greetings,

Jos
