Descriptionof Italian Aviation Units in the First World War. Volume 2
Manufacturer

Little known abroad, the Italian air force grew from just 80 aircraft during the First World War to a mighty force with 3,000 aircraft in service, and some of its men, such as the flying ace Francesco Baracca and the poet Gabriele d'Annunzio, are very well known in Italy. This work introduces all the basic units, the squadriglie, describes their history, their successes, victories and also problems, and reports on all the actions, the known serial numbers of the aircraft and the names of the pilots, observers and gunners who served in them, and presents their names, over 4,750, in a final index. It is the men, nearly 600 of whom died in service, that this work seeks to highlight. All units are presented, including the squadrons of the Royal Italian Navy, the smaller units and the squadrons that were in training towards the end of the war. A general introduction with numerous orders of battle presents the development of the Army and Navy air forces, while more than 1,380 photographs, most of them published for the first time, and colour profiles offer a fascinating look at the camouflage, insignia and personal markings of Italian airmen.
