Re: Italian Stukas
96 Gruppo (236,237 Sqd)
97 Gruppo (238,239 Sqd)
101 Gruppo (208,209 Sqd)
207,216, 206 Sqd were formed latter and with 237 formed the 102,103 Gruppo that received Ju-87D in 1943. The other squadriglia when Ju-87B and R2 disapeared due to losses went for Assalto mission with Fiat CR42 fighter bombers and latter Re.2002
Italy got 57 B2, 47 R2 in 1940-41, and in 1943 61 or 68 D3 models- i have both numbers with a question mark in my notes.

Re: Italian Stukas
OK, so the Real Question is what Kind of Bombs did they use, above that's an Italian bomb, but did they use German ones as well ?
"The first direct attack on Malta was performed on September 5. Italian reconnaissance reported a large ship in Grand Harbour, but the five Stukas that sortied could not find it. As an alternative target, they hit Delimara with their 500-kg bombs"
