Re: Fiat BR20 M crash in Belgium
According to the 13° Stormo history written by F. Romanelli, they were buried in the Evere cemetery.
Please note that - Giovanni Favia was not a Maggiore (Maj) but a "Maresciallo": - Del Monte and Astesati were Sergente Maggiore (plural: Sergenti Maggiori); - Biziocchi was a marconista (wireless operator) and not an engineer. Italian bombers flew with three pilots in Belgium, one of them acting as navigator. |
