I would be interested to compare José Maria Bravo´s claims with Nationalist/Italian/Legion Condor loss records. Here his claims - some of them I have checked already:

25.9.1937 - Fiat CR 32
26.9.1937 - half-share of Fiat CR 32
12.10.1937 - Fiat CR 32
22.10.1937 - floatplane, unidentified type
22.1.1938 - Bf 109 (no match with Legion Condor loss records)

7.2.1938 - half-share of Bf 109 (Bf 109 piloted by W. Balthasar was shot down on 7.2.1938 over Teruel, but according to Patrick Laureau it fell victim to the return-fire of SB-2 bomber, maybe Bravo was also involved?)

21.4.1938 - He 111
25.4.1938 - half-share of He 111 (seems to match with the Legion Condor He 111 loss on that day near Valencia)
25.4.1938 - Bf 109 (no match with Legion Condor loss records)
25.4.1938 - Savoia Marchetti SM. 79
10.6.1938 - half-share of Bf 109 (no match with Legion Condor loss records)
18.7.1938 - Bf 109 (no match with Legion Condor loss records)
19.7.1938 - half-share of Fiat CR 32
24.8.1938 - Fiat CR 32
3.11.1938 - Bf 109 (no match with Legion Condor loss records)

So far only one half-share confirmed and another half-share probable (?)...
