Narrative:1.Fiat CR.32 shot down by Republican fighters. The CR.32 fighter was piloted by Italian-American Joseph-Vincent Patriarca, who attacked two Nieuport 52 accompained by Baschirotto. His aircraft was hit by Carlos Colom (Urtubi ?), who, probably wounded and ran out of ammunition impacted and crashed against Patriarca's CR.32 destroying it also. Patriarca Bailed, while Colom was killed. Patriarca became POW and was later released with intervention of the US Department.
2 The "kamikaze" action has been assigned to Félix Urtubi. while, as per Permuy's information, It was Carlos Colom's Nieuport 52 which impacted against Patriarca's CR.32 and only his carbonizaed body was found and not Urtubi's one, who was missing
