Aviazione Legionaria

I was hoping someone else would answer, since my knowledge of your request is minimal, to say the least.

As far as I know, nothing has been published in English, perhaps not too surprisingly, but very little, it seems, has been published in Italian as well.

I have one single book from 1981 by Angelo Emiliani titled Italiani nell'aviazione Repubblicana Spagnola. It has some 140 pages, illustrated, yes, but not too much. At this time I don't remember why I bought it, since I don't speak Italian. It was cheap and perhaps I believed it should contain much more than it really seems to do. No day-by-day stuff at all.

There is of course one book in English published in 1997 'Wings over Spain' by Emiliani Ghergo, but that is basically a pictorial one with an extended text to each picture, and I don't think that is what you are after, is it?
It does have a bibliography though, and if interested send me a PM with your e-mail and I scan it for you (two pages) since there are a few more books listed in there which can be directly linked to the Aviazione Legionaria.

Cheers

Three more which might be useful:

Guerra di Spagna e Aviazione Italiana. Pedriali, Ferdinando. Ufficio Storico Aeronautica Militare Italiana, Roma, 1992. 413 pages.

La Aviacion Legionaria en la Guerra Espanola. Nassaes, Alcofar. Editorial Euros, Barcelona, 1975. 397 pages.

Ali di Guerra Sulla Spagna 1936-1939. Pedriali, Ferdinando. IBN Editore, Roma, 2015. 268 pages.

I don't know how much Italian content are in the following by Jesús Salas Larrazábal, but they may be useful (all somewhat oversize books):

Guerra Aérea 1936/39, Tomo I: La Batalla Aérea por Madrid. Instituto de Historia y Cultura Aeronauticas, Madrid, 1998. xiv+420.

Guerra Aérea 1936/39, Tomo II: La Campana del Norte. Instituto de Historia y Cultura Aeronauticas, Madrid, 1998. x+364.

Guerra Aérea 1936/39, Tomo III: Guerra en los cielos de la antigua Corona de Aragón. Instituto de Historia y Cultura Aeronauticas, Madrid, 2001. viii+310.

Guerra Aérea 1936/39, Tomo IV: El Desenlace. Instituto de Historia y Cultura Aeronauticas, Madrid, 2003. viii+277.

Enjoy!
