SE VA LA PRIMERA
extract of the combat report
"I went to spiral down to the deck and headed home across the peninsula at 0 feet. As I reached the coast on the other side North of Nabeul. I saw two stukas lown and flying formation. I was about in the line astern and I opened fire on one them at 150 yards.
Then I picked up the other one, in line astern and blow ( I was flying at 50 or 100 feet) and the stukas must have been 200/300 feet. I gave him a long burst with all my ammunition in my brownnings and he went down in a very steep dive. I was going very fast and passed over Him at 100 feet. at my last glimpse he was still going down, as I had exhausted all my ammunition I did not return to see what happened because the flak of the german aerodrome opened fire with me, although I think he must have hit the ground."

After the attack, one of the Bf109 escaped at low sea-level dropping glycol leak. A few seconds later De Larminat was bounced by an agressive Fw190 and he managed to shoot this aircraft down.
