Actually not quite. Dunning list the initial stormo that the gruppo was assigned. Then one must read through the associated text to discover whether the gruppo changed stormo. For example, the 37 gruppo (pp.62–67) was assigned to the 18 Stormo, but moved to the 45 Stormo in Mar 42.
My comment was that he has charts that allow a quick check to see which squadriglia was assigned to which gruppo over time. He doesn't provide the same for the stormi. The information is there, but one must read through every entry to see which gruppi changed stormi. Fortunately the OB of the stormi was pretty consistent, so the number of changes are pretty low. Disbanding gruppi and squadriglia were more common, so if one wishes to see the composition of a specific stormo in 1943, one must check each entry of the known gruppi to see if that gruppo was still assigned, reassigned, or disbanded. You can't quickly find whether a different gruppo was assigned to that stormo in 1943 unless you check every entry for that type of gruppo.
This is a minor nitpick, but all too often only the stormi are identified in books.
