They were French Spitfires and the fight happened off Bastia. The fighters were on a sweep to attack German aircraft and barges evacuating the island.

I'm at work and don't remember the precise unit (GC I/3 and GC II/7 were involved in this campain IIRC) but have the details about this battle from the French side at home.
