Montella, Fabio: Dalle ceneri di un nuovo volo

This volume analyzes the complex process of reorganizing the Italian Air Force following World War II. This pivotal phase was defined by the institutional transition from the *Regia Aeronautica* and the *Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana* to the new *Aeronautica Militare*. The study examines the management of wartime surplus assets and the integration of Allied transport and training aircraft. It highlights the severe operational and structural constraints imposed by the 1947 peace treaty. The text documents the logistical reconstruction of airfield infrastructure and the reorganization of flight training schools. Particular attention is paid to specialized maintenance and the technical development of the units. The research draws on archival documents illustrating international cooperation during the early years of the Cold War. It outlines the doctrinal and strategic path that led to Italys accession to NATO in 1949. The work provides a detailed account of the force's organizational strength and its initial fleet modernization programs.
