	Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 - Italy
		In spite of its cumbersome appearance and outdated steel tube/wood/fabric construction, the S.M.79 was a rugged, reliable multi-role medium bomber which did quite a bit of damage in the face of heavy opposition.
		In October 1939 the Regia Aeronautica began to receive the 79-II with 745.2 kW (1,000 hp) Piaggio P.XI RC.40 engines (one batch had the Fiat A.80 of similar power) and this was the dominant version in action subsequently.
		About 1,200 served with the Regia Aeronautica including a handful of the III sub-type with forward-firing 20 mm cannon and no ventral gondola.

		AERONAUTICA UMBRA: The Aeronautica Umbra S.A. of Foligno was established in 1935, and was primarily concerned throughout the war years with sub-contract work for other aircraft manufacturers.
		FIAT: Aeronautica d'Italia S.A. (Fiat) was perhaps the most powerful organization within the Italian aircraft industry and certainly the most prolifico Its aircraft were exported all over the world prior to the war, and it supplied a substantial proportion of the equipment of the Regia Aeronautica.
		SAVOIA-MARCHETTI: The Societa Italiana Aeroplani "Savoia- Marchetti" was the major manufacturer of bombing aircraft far the Regia Aeronautica from the early 'thirties, when the first of the Savoia-Marchetti bomber tri-motors, the S.M.81 Pipistrello, was delivered to the bomber squadrons in 1934.

	REGGIANE RE 2000 FALCO (HAWK): THE REGIA AERONAUTICA "AMERICAN"
		It was thus no less surprising that the aircraft was rejected by the Regia Aeronautica, on the basis that the internal wing fuel tanks were too vulnerable and were not of the self-sealing type.
		Turning to the operational service of the RE 2000 with the Regia Aeronautica, it is worth remembering that only in 1941 it was decided to organize a unit to test operationally the plane.
		As a further proof of its capabilities, the Regia Marina (Italian Royal Navy), having the need of replacing the old Ro 43 biplane as a ship-board catapult fighter, and after examining several options, selected the RE 2000, which was developed in a special version to be launched by catapult.

		Since 1935, after the successes obtained by the famous racing hydroplanes, the Aeronautica Macchi began studying the construction of a new prototype for a fighter plane which would meet the requirements defined by the Regia Aeronautica for a modern interceptor.
		The MC200 was actively engaged in all campaigns conducted by the Regia Aeronautica, from Africa to the Balkans to Greece, and during the disastrous Italian campaign in Russia.
		With the armistice of September 8th, 1943 what was left was split between the now pro-Allied Regia Aeronautica in the South, and the pro-German Aerounautica Repubblicana in the North.

		During the thirties the Regia Aeronautica was involved in its first military operations, initially in Ethiopia in 1935, and later in Spain between 1936 and 1939.
		The Regia Aeronautica fought from the icy steppes of Russia to the sand of the North African desert losing men and machines.
		A referendum resulted in the proclamation of Italy as a Republic on 18 June 1946, and in parallel the Regia Aeronautica was transformed into the Aeronautica Militare Italiana - the title that it holds today.

	STORMO! The Regia Aeronautica in A.O.I. 1939/41 by Giulio Gobbi
		At the beginning of WWII the situation of the Regia Aeronautica in AOI was far from adequate, with but a single Stormo assigned to the area.
		This situation was recognized at the higher levels of the Regia Aeronautica and a program was initiated in 1939 to reinforce these units both quantitatively and qualitatively as follows:
		The RAF with its Blenheims and Hurricanes had a modern qualitative superiority over the Regia Aeronautica types together with the advantage of being able to supply these planes with fuel and replacement parts from the motherland, this being most difficult for the Regia Aeronautica.

		The only unit of the Regia Aeronautica ever to fly the Piaggio P.108 B was the 274a Squadrilia Bombardamento a Grande Raggio (B.G.R.), the 274th Long-Range Bombardment Group.
		The most spectacular raids with the Piaggio P. 108 B were flown in October 1942, when the Regia Aeronautica launched several night attacks on Gibraltar, from the airfield of Decimomannu on Sardinia.
		They were hardly used by the Regia Aeronautica, the main user being the German Luftwaffe.

	Review Caschi da volo della Regia Aeronautica by Alessandro Patroncino - book
		La Regia Aeronautica infatti non ha mai avuto un catalogo nomenclatore per i capi di vestiario, per cui il lavoro dell'autore è stato senza dubbio ammirevole ed importante poichè ha fatto chiarezza in un campo dove fino ad ora si conosceva poco o niente.
		This title is really unusual and specific, dealing with a subject in which research have had the most important aspect: the flying helmets used by Italian pilots and radio operators during the period 1939-1945.
		The Regia Aeronautica neved had a catalougue specific for dressing equipment, therefore the work of the author have been without any doubt admirable and important because have have filled that gap where till now very few things or nothing were known.

		The Caproni organzation created a series of light patrol bombers and attack craft that were well-though of at the end of the 1930s - both the Luftwaffe and the Royal Air Force but in orders for a few hundred of them.
		Caproni also produced a well-regarded medium bomber that the Regia Aeronautica did not want as it had only two engines.
		The Regia Aeronautica was aware of its role as eyes for the fleet around the central Meditterranean.

		Gli italiani, dal canto loro (tutti accuratamente selezionati e molti anche ex piloti da caccia), apprezzarono grandemente le caratteristiche in termini di prestazioni e di manovrabilità degli Stuka, specialmente dopo le recenti e penose esperienze con gli SM 85.
		Dall'agosto 1940 all'ottobre 1942 verranno forniti alla Regia Aeronautica circa 110 Stuka del tipo B2 ed R2.

		But Italy lacked the industrial and technological resources to maintain a first-class military air arm, and by the beginning of World War II the Regia Aeronautica was the least up-to-date of the major European air forces.
		Wartime operations in North Africa and the Mediterranean took a heavy toll of both men and machines, and by 1943, the Regia Aeronautica was effectively finished as a fighting force.
		During World War II, senior officials of the Air Ministry and general officers of the Regia Aeronautica were entitled to display flags with stars corresponding to their rank.

	Italian Royal Navy in World War Two: naval air force (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As already seen, the Regia Marina began the conflict without carriers, founding itself in a position of inferiority regarding the Mediterranean English Fleet; this position of disadvantage could have compensated, at least in part, with the collaboration of a very developed and efficient naval Air force.
		During the war was decided to replace the old Ro 43 with more modern and better armed aircraft, and they were constructed and experimented with satisfactory result, but the replacing was too much late for being of some usefulness before the armistice.
		This does not mean that the Italian Air Force (Regia Aeronautica) and the Luftwaffe did not take care of the war on the sea, but nearly always they lead an independent war from that of respective Navy, with the consequence that a lack of cooperation made more difficult to reach the hoped result.
