@SARFlytitus

I found this link on the 325th FG.

Any chance of recreating this Macchi (please)?

 

Accadde oggi.

Durante l'estate del '43, nella stessa data odierna, un ragazzo di 23 anni decollò, nonostante un doloroso mal di denti che lo perseguitava da giorni, col suo Macchi M.C.205 "Veltro" N°2 Rosso del 51°Stormo C.T. (Caccia Terrestri), dal campo volo di Uta-Capoterra, nei pressi di Cagliari, per intercettare una formazione di 48 caccia Curtiss P-40 Warhawk americani, del 325th Fighter Group "Checkertail Clan", in azione di mitragliamento nel Sud Sardegna (Sanluri). Avendone ingaggiato uno, che sfuggì al combattimento, ne attaccò un secondo abbattendolo sopra le saline di Elmas (fu ritrovato là dai suoi compagni del "Gatto Nero"), successivamente si gettò in un combattimento manovrato su un terzo. Dopo aver terminato le munizioni del "Veltro" decise di sua spontanea volontà, con un gesto azzardato, di colpire direttamente il P-40 col suo abbattendolo sopra Macchiareddu. Cercò allora di tenere in assetto il caccia che nel cruento urto ebbe un'ala asportata, non riuscendovi tentò, invano, di lanciarsi dall'abitacolo ma era troppo basso e non gli si aprì il paracadute. Il suo corpo esanime venne rinvenuto solo la sera nelle campagne di Uta a poca distanza dal suo aereo. Era al suo nono abbattimento e ormai considerato un asso della Regia Aeronautica venne insignito, con Decreto il 2 Agosto 1946, della medaglia d'oro al valor militare:
 «Ardito e valoroso pilota da caccia, giovane temprato nelle più ardue e dure battaglie aeree, era sempre luminoso esempio e sprone per coraggio, aggressività e decisione. Andando il combattimento, si offriva volontario quando maggiore era il rischio e non desisteva dalla lotta se non dopo aver sparato l'ultima cartuccia, collaborando efficacemente alle più brillanti vittorie del reparto e conseguendo magnifici risultati individuali. Nel corso di un accanito scontro con preponderanti formazioni nemiche, non pago del successo ottenuto con l'abbattimento di due incursori, uno sicuro e l'altro probabile, rimasto privo di munizionamento, si scagliava contro un terzo aereo avversario infrangendosi al suolo, in uno con esso, nell’ultimo supremo olocausto.»
— Cielo della Sardegna, 22 luglio 1943.

Sergente pilota MOVM Ferruccio Serafini (20 Gennaio 1920 - 22 Luglio 1943).

Please not, this is an auto translate:

It happened today.

During the summer of 1943, on the same date as today, a 23-year-old boy took off, despite a painful toothache that had been haunting him for days, with his Macchi M. C.205 "Veltro" N°2 Rosso del 51°Stormo C. T. (Land Fighter), from the Uta-Capoterra airfield, near Cagliari, to intercept a formation of 48 American Curtiss P-40 Warhawk fighters, of the 325th Fighter Group "Checkertail Clan," in machine gun action in Southern Sardinia (Sanluri). Having engaged one, who escaped the fight, he attacked a second of it by shooting it down on the salt pans of Elmas (he was found there by his companions of the "Black Cat"), then threw himself into a fight of a third. After finishing the ammunition of the "Veltro" he decided of his own free will, with a risky gesture, to hit the P-40 directly with his own, knocking it down on Macchiareddu. He then tried to keep the fighter in order, which had a removed wing in the bloody bump, and was unable to do so and tried, in vain, to jump out of the cockpit, but it was too low and his parachute was not opened. His lifeless body was found only in the evening in the countryside of Uta, a short distance from his plane. He was in his ninth fall and now considered an ace of the Regia Aeronautica, he was awarded the gold medal for military valor by Decree on 2 August 1946:
"A bold and valiant fighter pilot, a young man tempered in the toughest and toughest air battles, he was always a shining example and a spur for courage, aggression and decisiveness. As the fight went, he volunteered when the risk was greater and did not give up the fight until after firing the last cartridge, effectively collaborating with the most brilliant victories of the department and achieving magnificent individual results. In the course of a fierce clash with overwhelming enemy formations, I do not pay for the success of the shooting down of two raiders, one safe and the other likely, left without ammunition, he lashed out at a third opposing plane and broke down on the ground, in one with it, in the last supreme holocaust.
- Sky of Sardinia, 22 July 1943.

MOVM pilot sergeant Ferruccio Serafini (20 January 1920 - 22 July 1943).

Hi Mysticpuma ! 

Ferruccio Serafini...

Every time I go to Cagliari for work or pleasure I pass a few hundred meters from the place where his young life ended and, I confess, I look at the sky and it seems to me that I am witnessing those furious air battles of the summer of 1943... what an enormous waste of life all wars are!

My simple answer to your request is a BIG Yes, of course !

i'll do a fake 205  from the 202 already in game.

Thanx for your lovely request.

@Mysticpuma ...and here's the link for his last Macchi 205 Veltro skin hack  the day of his death on 22 july  1943  ( code 1 Red is  speculative because on the same unit the 2 Red was already painted on the  aircraft used by him only a few days before his last fight.)

 

As usual let me know...

Thank you @SARFlytitus

I won't get a chance to try it until tomorrow, but look forward to giving it a spin.

Much appreciated, cheers.

 

This was my friends, Uncles aircraft he shot down that day, which I recreated for him.
