BIO: Loris Baldi (Deceased) ITALIAN WWII ACE Pilot he scored 5 air victories for Italy during WWII as a pilot. he served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1940-1943, under the Aegean Command, in the 396th Squadron, 154th Group. After the armistice, he joined the ANR (National Republican Air Force) until 1945 (1st Squadron, 2nd Ground Fighter Group). On 2 April 1945, while engaging in combat with a formation of enemy bombers and their escort aboard his BF 109G-10/AS 11 Nero, with the ANR tricolour painted on the fuselage, Loris was shot down between Villafranca and Pozzuolo sul Mincio by a P-47 of the 347th Fighter Group of the USAAF. Although wounded in the leg, he survived despite his damaged parachute, jumping from the crashing aircraft. On that day, aerial combat caused heavy losses to the ANR; in fact, 14 Bf-109s of the unit were lost, and half of the pilots were killed or seriously injured. In the end, in April 1945, for Italy in the Second World War, the air victories credited to Loris Baldi amounted to five. No During his career he flew Macchi 202s and Fiat G55s, but also the German Messerschmitt Bf109. Through his aviation feats, he left a profound mark on the history of military aviation and an indelible memory as a pilot of the highest calibre. Foreign Ace pilots signatures are extremely difficult to obtain!
