Italian Air Force Geneerals
One site mentioned that 11 Italian Air Force generals died during the course of the Second World War. I can named only three:
Marshal Italo Balbo
Brigadier General Stefano Cagna
Brigadier General Pezzi
Can anyone help me to identify the others and give their dates and places of deaths. Please let me know.
Best Regards
Baron

Air Force General Stefano Cagna was shot down while leading his torpedo group in the attack on two British aircraft carriers, 31 July 1940.
Apparently this was an attack on Force H south of the Baleares which conducted Operation HURRY. His plane was the only one lost.

Not sure - he succeeded Balbo as commander in Libya according to the first site I linked. Here is a picture of him with Balbo, no idea who is who, and what the ranks are.

Here is his picture. If he is one of the guys on the other picture, that would solve the question.
