Re: 4 Fiat BR20 lost over Greece 1941
Three BR.20M that were shot down by fighters belonged to 277a Squadriglia, 116° Gruppo, 37° Stormo B.T.
The aircraft commanders were Ten. Antonio Zanetti and S.Ten. Leonetto Zilioli, both killed, and Ten. Giuseppe Valerio, all pilots.
Also killed were Serg. Magg. Aldo Monicolini and Serg. Gualtiero Favalini, both pilots.
A fourth BR.20M, 220-1 MM 22641, made an emergency landing in the Otranto area, being damaged. It was broken up in 1943 by the SRAM Lecce, but I don't know if it was repaired after the damages of 28 february 1941.
