For my second entry I have chosen the MC.200 of Capitano Giorgio Iannicelli.
MC.200 flown by Capitano Giorgio Iannicelli, 369a Squadriglia, 22o Gruppo Autonomo, Stalino, December 1941.
Born in June 1912 Iannicelli joined the Regia Accademia Navale but by November 1930 had transferred to the Regia Aeronautica Italiana. Promoted to Pilot Captain in July 1937 he saw service with the Aviazione Legionaria in the Spanish Civil War where he was awarded the Croce di Guerra al Valor Militare, gained his first of two Medaglia di Bronzo al Valor Militare and the first of three Medaglia D'argento al Valor Militare. With Italy entering WWII, Iannicelli was involved in a number of campaigns against France, Greece and Yougoslavia before being assigned in August 1941 to the 22o Gruppo Autonomo, Corpo di Spedizione Italiano in Russia (C.S.I.R) (Italian Expeditionary Force in Russia.)) On the 29 December 1941 Iannicelli took off from Zaporižžja airfield to counter a Soviet bombing raid on the Italian lines. In this action he engaged single handedly a strong force of Soviet fighters and was subsequently shot down and killed. For his actions Iannicelli was posthumously awarded the Medaglia D'oro al Valor Militare.
