		Enzo claimed that when competing in Ravenna in 1923 Countess Paolina Baracca, the mother of Italy's World War I flying ace Francesco Baracca, asked him to put his son's prancing horse emblem on his car for luck.
		However, Brock Yates, who wrote a scathing biography of the Commendatore, says the emblem wasn't Baracca's but belonged to his squadron and was still being used by its post-World War 2 jet squadron successor.
		Not only that, but Yates quotes a report that Baracca took the emblem from a German Albatross he shot down, but it was from the coat of arms of the pilot's home city of Stuttgart.
