The official AHF WW2 in Africa & the Med quiz thread

[Dili]

As Dili hasn't posted the correct answer, I'll post a new question to get the quiz moving again?

Q: Which US Brigadier General mysteriously disappeared during the invasion of Sicily in 1943?

Didn't i posted the correct answer?!

What type of aircraft did Biggles fly in [i]Biggles defies the Swastika[/i]?

Oops just noticed that this is the Med thread....

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

When you post it in the correct section I'll
try with a German Dornier flying-boat - One engine!

[Attrition]

No but it was a floatplane...;O)

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

Confused, although I'll stick to a Dornier "floatplane"...
with a slight correction, 2 engines. A Do 16 or Do 18 maybe
hi-jacked from Schaffer.

Single-engined & British

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

what version have you read...?

w

[Attrition]

The one where he flies a Supermarine S6b.

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

Hmmmm, well in the 1941 edition
he also piloted a Dornier...
How he got to Boda or "Fiord 21" is still
unknown to me.

Your turn

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

conflicting versions?

Anyone care to post a new one
under the correct heading/section
as I don't have anything good.

What happened with the British first used Matilda tanks at Gallabat against the Italian army?

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

Did they break down on the hard
vulcanic stone desert surface?

w

[Attrition]

They did and the lorry full of spares was hit by a shell....
