About José Sanjurjo
- General José Sanjurjo y Sacanell, 1st Marquess of the Rif (Spanish: [sa?'xu?xo]; 28 March 1872 – 20 July 1936), was the senior of the three leaders of the Nationalist coup of July 1936, which started the Spanish Civil War. He was killed in an air crash on the third day of the rebellion, when he was flying in from Portugal, to take up his position in command of Franco and Mola.
- Surprisingly, he had chosen to fly in a small, overloaded plane, because the pilot was a friend of his.
- Sabotage was suspected, but never proven.
