As this forum doesn’t facilitate photos, I am unable to show anything from the book.
For an iconic aircraft flown by gallant crews against overwhelming odds, we are still awaiting a book to do it justice.
If we were having a meal I’d call it a starter!!!

Thanks AMC
I think I will bypass this one....
Pity since I confess I kind of looked forward to it.
Not too many Italians around writing about their own aviation history....in English....
Cheers
