"Come on Banana"
June 28, 1943. Sergente Maggiore (Sgt. Major) Ennio Tarantola shoots down a P-40E
Kittyhawk over the Isle of Sardinia for his eighth aerial victory. As a boy, Tarantola sold
bananas from a pushcart, forever earning him the nickname that later adorned the
cowling of his Macchi C.202 Folgore.
"DAI BANANA!" translates into English as "COME ON BANANA!" and served to remind his
adversaries whom they were flying against.
