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.
