On 24 October 1940, Sottotenente Carlo Battaglia of 73a Squadriglia, 9o Gruppo CT, died in a crash during take-off from Berka airfield, near Benghazi. At the time of his death, Battaglia was credited with 2 shared biplane victories.

I would like to know in which aircraft (type, and serial will be bonus) crashed this pilot.

In 1940 the 9° Gruppo was equipped with Fiat CR.42 but received Mc200 at the end of the year. It is also possible that he was a passenger in another type of aircraft.

Thanks in advance
