I got it.

Lt. Max Graf Hoyos was one of 10 very first Ju52 pilots, sent to Spain in summer 1936.
On 13 aug 1936 Lt. Hoyos together with Hptm. von Moreau, flew a first combat mission of Ju52's, during wich they could attack republican Jaime I , Espana-class dreadnought battleship, and put is out of action.

Also, Hoyos flew many transport mission at early stages of conflict. But I failed to find him in list of pilots of K/88, when it was equipped with He111's.

Any further info?
