I found two losses in 1st Brazilian Fighter Squadron. On February 4, a commander, Capt Joel Miranda and Av 2nd Av Ten Danilo Moura Marques, both were hit by Flak while attacking the locomotives southwest of Treviso.
Both jumped with parachutes. The first was saved by partisans who kept him until the war ended. Danilo, after walking for a month about 300km, managed to return to the Group.
Unfortunately Treviso is far far away from Chiaso/Como.
