15 October 1940: S.79 shot down over Yemen

On 15 October 1940 Sottotenente Italo Gherardini of 44° Gruppo was killed when his S.79 was shot down by a RAF Blenheim over Ras al Arah, Yemen.

I would like to know the full crew list (names and fate) of this bomber. The serial number will be an unexpected bonus.

Thanks in advance

Laurent
