11-11-1940 Monday raid over the UK code name Cinzano' - a bombing raid on Harwich by ten Fiat BR. 20s escorted by 40 Fiat CR.42s ( 95-13 )and G.50s and a diversionary attack on London by the five Canz Z. 1007 bombers in concert with the Luftwaffe.
Note: The youtube clip is racist towards the Italians. At this time in 1940 one can understand.
Note FalkeEins did a niece piece of this raid, see sources.
That picture really shows how unsophisticated the structure of the AP-1 was, all the profiles make it look like it was a much more modern construction than it actually was. Great picture. I always wondered why the Italians replaced it with the mediocre Breda 65. I see why now!
