Re: Photos Italian Aircraft
Hi Stig,
Thanks. I believe you're correct. As well as the facts you list, in neither of the photos does the machine have an engine. That seems a bit too much of a coincidence. Which I'm afraid leads to a couple of follow up questions. Was the machine flown actually used at Guidonia for any reason,or was it simply an exhibit of some kind?. I would also like to ask, given that both the S.16 ter and the S.59 bis appear to have had a long life after withdrawl from front line use with the Regia Aeronautica,does any evidence exist for the use of the machines after June 10 1940? I have a note, I believe from the table in Wawrzynski & Lalak's Regia Aeronautica 1935 - 1943 (though I'm struggling to find my copy at the moment) that the S.59 bis did remain on strength at that time. So has anyone anything further at all? Rgeards, Clint |
