Hi all,
Is there a list of which ships' planes had what codes?
I know that the Littorio's Ro43s had 911, 912 and 913.
Who had 813?
thanks in advance.

In Regia Marina, Ro.43 fuselage codes meant: first #(black) Naval Division, second # (black) ship order in the Division, third # (red) individual aircraft number.
Look at
http://www.regiamarina.net and go to Uomini e Mezzi > Altre informazioni > Ordine di Battaglia, then click on Prima Squadra. According to that order of battle, Ro.43 no. 813 was the third aircraft of cruiser
RN Duca degli Abruzzi, which belonged to
VIII Divisione Incrociatori.
