Italy between wars
Formation flight
Savoia Marchetti SM55
ciao
Fabio

i had a nice model of that plane as a kid.
savoia marchetti made some cool planes. the SM79 was one of my
favorites.
italian planes had a nice sense of style, but any place with design
houses
like bertone and pinanfarina will make good looking stuff whether plane
car
or ship.

Here you are SM79 from my collection
Fabio



thanx. a truly beautiful plane. maybe the best anti-shipping bomber of the
war.



if you look at the bottom of the seal of the U.S.Senate you will see a pair
of crossed fasces.
symbols of the roman republic are common in the senate chambers.
