Re: Morato's Air Combat Victories
hi,
Curiously I just found another different information about this day: 11-12 june 37: 4 losses of RZ in these two days Revista Aeroplano Nº23 page 62 by Morato Squadron. 11.6.37 Benjumea R-Z Republican Spanish Prob? 11.6.37 Benjumea R-Z Republican Spanish Prob? RZ .- Luis Alonso Vega RZ .- Jose Mateo Leon, Grupo 20, by Morato Squadron (Benjumea) RZ .- Luis Alonso Vega RZ .- Jose Mateo Leon, Grupo 20, by Morato Squadron (Benjumea) 12.6.37 Joaquín García Morato R-5 or R-Z Republican Spanish 12.6.37 Guerrero R-5 or R-Z Republican Spanish probably the planes were claimed as "Papagayo" but were R-Z RZ 2 losses 12 june 37 by Morato Squadron, Grupos 12,20,25 in Revista Aeroplano Nº23 page 62 also add an explanation about the misindentification: Nacionalists sometimes confused the type of enemy biplane aircraft between Rasantes, Natachas, Aero-101, Pragas and Ocas called all Papagayos…on page 68, Revista Aeroplano Nº23 regards
