Major Adriano Visconti di Lampugnano (11 November 1915 – 29 April 1945) was one of Italy's top flying aces of the Second World War, during which he shot down between 10 and 26 enemy aircraft.[1][2] He was awarded four Medaglia d'argento al Valor Militare and two Medaglia di Bronzo al Valor Militare "in action".[3]
- ^ Note: Although several publications (Mick Spick. The Complete Fighter Ace All the World's Fighter Aces, 1914-2000. London: Greenhill Books 1999.pag.106) have credited Visconti with 26 victories he personally never claimed more than ten.
