Narrative:Shot down by Lt. Eberhard Henrici during Spanish Civil War.
A huge Republican Squadron formed by 12(13) aircraft in a support mission to attack the Tardienta front (1 Fokker FVII, 1 Dragon Rapide DH-89M, 8 CASA/Breguet XIX and 2 or 3 Hispano-Nieuport 52) were attacked by three Legión Condor He-51. One Breguet, the Dragon Rapide and at least 2 (or 3) Nieuport 52 were shot down. Hispano Pilots downed, Fernando Roig and Jaime Buyé (survived). It seems German sources are confused between the Dragon Rapide and the Fokker F.VII
