[Graham Boak]

The Rata was misidentified as a Curtiss, during the Spanish Civil War. However, the Grumman FF-1 did see service in that war, so could have entered the Axis recognition guides that way. My opinion is that the likeliest type is the I-153, but are there any other reports of the Romanians claiming Grummans, or indeed recognising the I-153 as what it was? One example is likely to be misleading.
