Una storia dell’aviazione italiana

The author intentionally takes a concise and comprehensive approach in this book, tracing the history of Italian aviation from the era of hot air balloons to the present day.

While the information and analyses presented by the author may be found in other publications, they are often disconnected. In this book, however, they are presented with a unique thread, offering clarity and precision, both in terminology and content. The author's broad expertise, gained through diverse aeronautical and inter-force experiences, both in Italy and abroad, ensures a thorough understanding of the subject matter.

L’aviazione italiana nella Grande Guerra

The story of Italian aviation extends far beyond the fascinating tales of fighter aces or legendary exploits like D'Annunzio's raid on Vienna during the First World War. It's a narrative of men and machines, where technology and strategy intertwine to create a well-rounded air force capable of fulfilling its duties in wartime.

As theories on bombing emerged within doctrinal debates involving figures like Douhet and Caproni, commanders pragmatically employed them.
Bomber actions aimed to counter the operational capabilities of opposing forces, while most squadrons directly supported ground forces with reconnaissance, observation, communication, and ground attack roles. They operated under the protection of fighters whose tactics were evolving beyond individualistic approaches.

This book delves into this rich history, exploring the development of Italian aviation, from its early days to its role in shaping military strategies and tactics. It's a comprehensive account of the men, machines, and missions that defined Italian aviation throughout its evolution.

Encyclopédie des avions de chasse italiens 1939-1945

Souvent mal connus et sous-estimés, les chasseurs italiens ayant combattu lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale n'ont pas démérité. C'est oublier que l'industrie aéronautique italienne est une des premières du monde dans l'entre-deux-guerres et que les productions de ses grands noms comme Fiat ou Caproni s'exportent avec succès.
Très présents en Amérique du Sud, les chasseurs de fabrication italienne y sont unanimement appréciés pour leur robustesse et leur fiabilité... ressenti qui ne se démentira pas avec les premiers combats en Europe.

Le célèbre CR 42, adoré pour sa maniabilité, sera de tous les combats malgré sa qualité de biplan ; la gamme des Macchi, aux courbes si élégantes, se couvrira de gloire lors des combats en Afrique du Nord puis en Italie. Sans oublier les appareils de Reggiane, plus ou moins appréciés en Italie mais un véritable succès d'export (les Britanniques commanderont, en janvier 1940, 300 exemplaires avant que le contrat ne soit cassé), qui affichent des caractéristiques techniques n'ayant rien à envier à leurs homologues alliés et allemands.

L'ouvrage fera un détour par les forces aériennes de la république de Salo (ANR), ultime sursaut de Mussolini, et son emploi d'excellents appareils comme le G.55 Centauro. Rehaussée de photographies inédites et de nombreux profils couleurs, voici l'encyclopédie indispensable pour enfin (re)découvrir et connaître les chasseurs italiens du second conflit mondial !

L'aviazione italiana 1940-1945 - Azioni belliche e scelte operative

As this book chronicles, Italian aircraft and crews faced overwhelmingly powerful enemies for many years, sustaining inhuman efforts with incredible courage and a sense of duty. These qualities were the only resources to compensate for Italy's comparative weakness against giants like the British Empire, United States, and Soviet Union.

Italian aviators performed miracles with old Fiat biplanes against RAF Hurricanes and launched improvised but effective Siai-Marchetti torpedo bombers against massive warships. Even on the brink of collapse, they bravely confronted American Flying Fortresses with scarce Macchi and Reggiane fighters, defending their homeland from devastating attacks.

Following the ill-fated armistice of September 8, 1943, a new tragedy unfolded: the division of aviation on both sides of the peninsula. The Royal Air Force in the South, alongside the Anglo-Americans, and the short-lived Republican Air Force in the North, following Mussolini's doomed fate. Despite differing views on events, all comrades were united by a sincere love for their country.

During World War II, Italy produced just over 10,000 aircraft, a small fleet compared to the 100,000 German, 120,000 British, and 280,000 American planes. Few were modern types, arriving too late to change the course of the war.
From the deserts of Libya to the valleys of Albania, the snowy steppes of Russia to the familiar skies at home, Italian aviation sacrificed beyond limits, caught in an unwinnable struggle.

La Regia Aeronautica nella 2 Guerra Mondiale

In this extensive volume, the author recounts the daily actions across all fronts where Italian aviators operated during World War II. The author acknowledges the challenge of tracking down all war documents, many of which were destroyed or lost during the tumultuous period, particularly in 1943.

This book includes moments of Italian retreat, notably in African fronts and the post-armistice period. The events are reconstructed while considering documents from opposing factions, aiming to maintain objectivity throughout.

Rommels italienische Flieger - Die Regia Aeronautica in Nordafrika 1940-1943

Die italienische Luftwaffe erlitt 1940/41 im Kampf gegen die Royal Air Force über Ägypten und der Cyrenaika eine schwere Niederlage und verlor 90 % ihres dortigen Bestandes. Aber statt des Zusammenbruchs erfolgte die Wiedergeburt.

Erstarkte Jagdverbände der Regia Aeronautica gingen in Luftkämpfe wie in mittelalterliche Duelle und Elite-Torpedobomberverbände wilderten erfolgreich vor den nordafrikanischen Küsten. Die Transportflieger wiederum opferten sich auf bei dem Versuch, die Verbindung zwischen dem Mutterland und dem libyschen Kriegsschauplatz aufrechtzuerhalten. Für viele der italienischen Piloten war Fliegen eine Art Obsession, eine Leidenschaft, für deren Ausleben sie extreme Gefahren und Risiken in Kauf nahmen.

Bis heute aber wird das Bild der Regia Aeronautica im Kampf über den nordafrikanischen Wüsten mit geprägt durch eine nachwirkende alliierte Kriegspropaganda, die den Italienern die Rolle von militärischen Dilettanten zuweist.
Mit der hier vorgelegten Untersuchung, der ersten im deutschsprachigen Raum, die sich exklusiv mit den Einsätzen, Erfolgen und Verlusten der italienischen Luftwaffe über Libyen, Ägypten, Tunesien und Algerien auseinandersetzt, korrigiert der Autor nach jahrelangen Recherchen viele Vorurteile und Fehlinformationen und zeichnet ein realistisches Bild der italienischen Wüstenluftwaffe.
Seine ausgewogene Analyse kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die Regia Aeronautica trotz einer ungenügenden Ausstattung und daraus resultierenden materiellen Unterlegenheit wesentlich mehr geleistet hat, als man von ihr erwarten konnte. Einige ihrer Aktionen waren, was Kühnheit und Leistungsfähigkeit anbetrifft, einzigartig.

Prototipi e progetti della Regia Aeronautica

On the events of the Second World War there is a series of real legends that have transformed the history of that war into a sort of fairy tale. Many still believe today that the Blue Army took part in the Second World War with a set of aircraft dating back to the Great War. The reality is quite different: in those years, aeronautical experimentation in Italy, while not reaching the levels and results of its ally Germany, gave some significant results.

The Italian aviation industry, despite some flaws, first of all the inability to produce a powerful engine of original entirely national design and construction, made various attempts to provide aircraft and weapons that were suitable to compete with those in enemy use.
This volume investigates precisely those that were "the secret weapons of the Regia Aeronautica", that is to what extent experimentation in the aeronautical military field reached Italy.

Axis Aircraft in Latin America

Following World War I, Germany and Italy began to develop their aviation industry and seek new opportunities to expand their global presence. At the same time, Latin America was a region with an under developed transport system and difficult terrain, while their air power was virtually none existent.

Helped by German and Italian immigrants, the aviation industry of Latin America soon found a fertile terrain to sell their products, developing the first airlines in the region together with an increasing local military aviation interest.
Commercial aviation, including Scadta, the world's second airline, was greatly influenced by the German aviation industry with a legacy stretching over 40 years, while the military focused on Italian aircraft.
These warplanes featured heavily during the Chaco War between Paraguay and Bolivia along with the 1941 war between Peru and Ecuador. Ironically, both German and Italian types were employed against their makers during World War II in patrolling the seas in search for German and Italian submarines.

Famous types including the Junkers F13, W34, K43, Ju52/3m, Ju86, Fiat CR.20, CR.32, BR.20, G-46, G-55, Dornier Wal, Focke Wulf Fw58 Weihe, Fw200 Condor and the only Japanese type, the Mitsubishi Betty are all featured.
Interestingly, several of these examples still survive today, including the world's last Dornier Wal and the Weihe.
Also includes the story of the German and Italian technicians and pilots that went to work to Argentina and Brazil after the war and developed many projects, some of them started in their countries before the end of the war.

This book is a meticulously researched review of the many German, Italian and Japanese aircraft taken to Allied countries or flown by the Allies during or after the Second World War. The hsitory of these captured aircraft has been extensively researched and the book is copiously illustrated by an unrivalled selection of around 500 photographs, gleaned from around the world.

The book's chapters are devoted to chronological themes describing the individual histories of each aircraft and the units which flew them in the USA or France or in specific theatres of war, with a final chapter covering the use made of aircraft in other countries.
Coverage includes civilian aircraft and sailplanes as well as military types; post-war production of German designs and details of surviving aircraft in museums. Appendices and indexes cover designation and marking systems, information sources and other useful background.

The UK chapters include coverage of RAF Farnborough, 1426 (EA) Flight, individual squadrons, experimental organisations and manufacturers, the ATAIU in Malaya and the little-known Gremlin Task Force.
US chapters deal with evaluation at Wright Field, Freeman Field and in Europe by Watson's Whizzers, by the US Navy TAIC at Anacostia, ATAIUs in Australia and the Phillippines and many individual units.
The book also includes the most complete record published of British 'Air Min' and USAAF 'FE' and 'T2' aircraft numbering systems.

This new edition of an acclaimed title first published nearly thirty years ago has been fully revised and updated. The opportunity has been taken to use modern technology to improve the quality of the images and many new photos uncovered since the original publication have been included.

Frecce tricolori - L'arte del volo acrobatico

The Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale, one of the most popular symbols of Italian national unity, celebrates its 60 years of history with a spectacular volume born out of the collaboration between Giunti and the Italian Air Force, thus closing the 'Big Embrace' that took it flying over Italian cities in the year of the pandemic.
The extraordinary spectacle of its performance stems from unparalleled technical expertise, that esprit de corps, that generosity and deep understanding without which there is no victory.

Pilots, technicians and officers have chosen to celebrate the 60th anniversary with Giunti, passing the baton from hand to hand and making us relive, alongside them, the development of the most spectacular sequences, the training process and the sessions of daily training.
With the preface by Federico Buffa, here is a work of great scenographic impact and deeply authentic in the live testimonies, in the analysis of the incredible acrobatic maneuvers, in the description of the aircraft, in the historical re-enactment of these incomparable 60 years.
