Description
English: ensign of the 65ª Squadriglia (65th Squadron) of the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Royal Air Force).
Probably the motto «MI FANNO UN BAFFO» (Italian expression that stands for: they don’t hurt me at all) is referred to the fact that Captain Duilio Sergio Fanali (Breda Ba.65 visual code 16-18), in February the 18th 1938, was shot by the fragments of a antiaircraft grenade during the Teruel battle, but he managed to return to Tudela air base.[1][2][3]
Italiano: distintivo della 65ª Squadriglia della Regia Aeronautica.
Probabilmente il motto «MI FANNO UN BAFFO» era riferito all'episodio in cui il capitano Duilio Sergio Fanali (Breda Ba.65 codice 16-18), il 18 febbraio 1938, veniva colpito dalle schegge di una granata della contraerea durante la battaglia di Teruel, ma riusciva a tornare alla base di Tudela.[2][1][3]
