Capitano Antonio Larsimont-Pergameni, commander of the Italian 97~a Squadriglia of 9° Gruppo, 4° Stormo, was leading three fighters on July 29, 1941. His two wingmen were Tenente (lieutenant) Jacopo Frigerio and Maresciallo (warrant officer) Rinaldo Damiani. They were piloting the first three operational MC.202 Folgore (lightning) fighters to be delivered from the Macchi plant at Lonate Pozzolo in northern Italy to Gorizia, where the stormo (wing) was based. In the race to be assigned the new long-awaited fighter, the 4° Stormo had narrowly beaten its eternal rival, the 1 ° Stormo at Campoformido. Larsimont-Pergamenfs pilots - almost all combat veterans - had come to Lonate Pozzolo in early June to familiarise themselves with the new fighter. They had suggested some final small modifications based on their combat experience.
