Regia Aeronautica: The Italian Air Force 1923-1945 An Operational History by Chris Dunning
This new highly illustrated and comprehensive book covers the history of the Italian Regia Aeronautica (Italian Air Force) from 1940 to 1943 - an area of aviation history of increasing interest to historians, enthusiasts, and modelers. The book covers the aircraft, camouflage, and markings of the various aviation arms of the Italian Regia Aeronautica. Its machines were invariably colorfully camouflaged for tropical and over-water use and richly emblazoned with individual, tactical, and unit markings, making for popular modeling subjects. They flew in several operational theatres between 1940 and 1943 including France, Belgium, Yugoslavia, Russia, and Greece, and produced a number of flying aces such as Teresio Martinoli, Franco Lucchini, Leonardo Ferrulli, and Franco Bordoni-Bisleri. All aircraft are covered - day fighters, bombers, dive-bombers and ground-attack units, and maritime and transport aircraft. This is an ideal volume of reference for aviation modelers, particularly those with a specific interest in Italian aviation.

Camouflage & Markings of the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana 1943-45
Ferdinando D'Amico & Gabriele Valentini. For the first time in the English
language and following years of research, the authors analyze the camouflage
and markings of the Aeronautica Nationale Repubblicana (ANR), the fascist air
force formed following the wake of Italy's capitulation to the Allies in 1943.
This volume will undoubtedly become the defining reference on the subject.
Fighting alongside the Luftwaffe to the bitter end in Northern Italy, the ANR
was equipped with the German Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter as well as a range of
Italian fighters, bombers, torpedo and transport aircraft -- all of which are
examined by the authors with the aid of hundreds of previously unpublished
photographs showing the camouflage and systems markings by unit and individual
units. This heavily illustrated and highly detailed work of reference covers an
often-overlooked aspect of Italian air power in the later stages of World War II
and is essential reading for aviation historians and aviation modelers.
