Savoia S62 Ex-Aeronautica Naval participating along with seven more S62, in a coordinate operation with Captain's Bayo catalan republican forces to recover Mallorca Island, was heavily damaged, while anchored, in a straffing attack by italian FIAT CR-32 recently desembarked by Nationalists in Palma. This was one of the four S62 that were left behind in the precipitated retreat of Bayo's forces after the invasion defeat. Nationalists evaluated its condition, but it was considered unserviceable and only for scrap
