Savoia-Marchetti S.79 Sparviero Bomber Units (COM-122)
Published by Osprey 2018 - author: Marco Mattioli - soft cover - 96 pages - pre-owned - condition: near mint
Italy's most successful wartime bomber, the S.79 was also the most produced, with around 1370 built between 1936 and early 1944. The Sparviero (Sparrowhawk) saw combat with the Regia Aeronautica in France, Yugoslavia, Greece, North Africa, East Africa and in the Mediterranean. Initially developed by Savoia-Marchetti as a transport, the aircraft had evolved into a dedicated medium bomber by the time the S.79-I made its combat debut with the Aviazione Legionaria in the Spanish Civil War in 1936.
