Hi All

Need some info and photos in general about the Italian units in Mallorca during the Spanish civil war. I know that some air units were based on Son Bonet airfield near Palma...

Thanks in advance

There a a lot of pics of Italian planes also serving on Balear islands on this site:
AVIONES DE LA GUERRA CIVIL ESPAÑOLA
Especialy a lot of profiles and pics are in Fiat Cr-32 pics file

Interesting factoid: I read somewhere or other that Franco originally promised Mussolini the Balearic Islands if he would aid the military rebellion. Needless to say, nothing ever came of that promise.

I have heard so. Apparently, Mussolinni dreamt about turning the Ballearic islands into some kind of Italian Gibraltar/Malta.

In the same batch of photos offered there were also these, hence I assume that could be the subsequent cleaning of the island ...............
