Holy Toledo!

What a great posting.  I am vry much interested in Italian aviation.  I have never seen anything better anywhere on the Spaviero.

Would anyone out there have any knowledge of at least one SM 79 fitted with 2 DB 601 engines and a clear nose.  It supposedly was quite a performer.

I saw paratroops being loaded ona 79.  I understand they were used in the Balkans against Chetniks and Partisans.   Were they used elsewhere?
