As it happened #OTD in 1940, a reminder that British historiography to this day sucks HARD at getting its facts straight on the #Tarantonight. #RegiaMarina #ItalianNavy #FleetAirArm #WW2 #WorldWarII #OperationJudgement

Guardiamarina Vittorio Villa (officer on the Grecale) took these pictures of the destroyer Libeccio soon after the #Tarantonight, showing the results of the dud bomb hit. [blog "Con la pelle appesa a un chiodo"] #RegiaMarina #ItalianNavy #WorldWar2 #WWII #OperationJudgement

Hope this makes even a single person reflect and maybe consider things in a different light. #RegiaMarina #ItalianNavy #USNavy #PearlHarbor #WW2 #WorldWarII #Tarantonight

Given the day, I'll repost this old 🧵 of mine about misconceptions on the #Tarantonight. #RegiaMarina #ItalianNavy #RoyalNavy #FleetAirArm #OperationJudgement #WW2

Warning: this is going to be rather controversial. I've decided to talk a bit about common misconceptions about the "Taranto night", at least in the wider public. Just a quick, general talk, nothing more. #RegiaMarina #RoyalNavy #Tarantonight #FaireySwordfish

When you watch a video on the #Tarantonight, and you reach the part where "it changed the balance of power in the Mediterranean"... #RegiaMarina #ItalianNavy #RoyalNavy #WW2 #WorldWarII

To tackle the situation after #OperationJudgement, the #RegiaMarina mobilized all human resources available. Or rather, those that answered despite being poorly treated. Like General GN Umberto Pugliese, forcibly discharged in 1938. #WW2 #WorldWarII #Tarantonight

Will we ever be free from these bogus British claims about Italian losses or damage...? 😑 #RegiaMarina #ItalianNavy #WW2 #WorldWarII #Tarantonight #nottediTaranto #OperationJudgement

On this night in 1940, 21 Swordfish torpedo bombers from the British carrier Illustrious attack the Italian fleet anchored at Taranto. Eight warships are damaged, including three battleships. Japan will study the raid when planning their attack on Pearl Harbor the next year.

@FlyNavyPhil Will definitely be wearing my miniatures tonight on the train, the tube, in central London and (hopefully) back again in reverse. That bit always gets a little hazy! I suspect all opposition to my progress will be self inflicted. #TarantoNight

You shouldn't judge a book from a cover, but those lines at the bottom already have my eyebrows rising... Has anybody chanced upon it? #RegiaMarina #ItalianNavy #RoyalNavy #FleetAirArm #WW2 #WorldWarII #Tarantonight #BattleoftheMediterranean

Rewatching "Tora! Tora! Tora" tonight. And I can't help but feel that this little bit encapsulates what most people believed about Taranto for so long. Today, though, we should know better.😒 #ToraToraTora #WW2 #WorldWarII #warfilm #Tarantonight #RegiaMarina #ItalianNavy

I stumbled upon these postcards commemorating the #Tarantonight. Interesting that they depicted the Doria (one of the ships not hit) together with the Cavour. They didn't quite get it right with the camo schemes and the fire, though. #RegiaMarina #ItalianNavy #RoyalNavy #WW2

Wartime newsreels are fascinating. This British one is about the #Tarantonight; it has several interesting elements. #RegiaMarina #ItalianNavy #RoyalNavy #FleetAirArm #WW2 #WorldWar2 #battleofTaranto https://t.co/9BORNaVhAI

I've recently thought about a small detail that kind of grated at me, in this otherwise interesting and provocative 2006 article by Angelo Caravaggio on the #TarantoNight. https://t.co/7fvDuzFp8N #RegiaMarina #ItalianNavy #WWII #WorldWarII #Italyatwar #BattleoftheMediterranean

#TIL that Piero Calamai, captain of the Andrea Doria when it sank OTD, participated in the beaching of the battleship Duilio in the #Tarantonight and was awarded a MAVM for it.

@CiarliniKoerner I would like to remember the commander Piero Calamai who, during the night of Taranto, took the Duilio to the shallows to allow it to subsequently be recovered
