Italian fighters on Kos

Hi guys

When the RAF/SAAF Spitfires arrived on the island of Kos in mid September 1943, the airfield at Antimachia was occupied by a mixed force of fighters of 396^Squadriglia commanded by Sottoten Giuseppe Morganti. Had the unit changed sides?

What were these aircraft? Did any participate in the subsequent fighting? Presumably all were destroyed on the ground?

Cheers
Brian
