Re: Flight characteristics of Savoia Marchetti SM.79
I have the 1975 edition of William Green, "Famous Bombers of the Second WW" and went cursorily through the Sparviero part and noticed the following comments on its handling:
on p. 64 "...The S.M.79-I was not very popular with the Yugoslav pilots who considered its landing characteristics to be poor."
But in the end p. 65 " ...It possessed excellent handling qualities and was favoured over all other bombers by its crews..."
