Montecorvino, after the its conquest by the Allies: a RAF officer inspect a destroyed and abandoned in the middle to clunkers Messerschmitt Bf.110G of the Luftwaffe’s ZG1 “Wespengeschwader”. On the left the skeleton of an Italian Caproni Ca.310 likely burned just before the abandon of the airfield in front to the Allies advance. In background the just arrived Spitfires of the No 111 Squadron Royal Air Force deployed at Montecorvino on September 1943. So this photo was taken at this date. Victor Sierra
