Very interesting Editor

Mario

I have this photo and that informations: https://i.imgur.com/qfeF9Iw.jpeg and https://i.imgur.com/Mcr9IcB.jpeg For discussion purpose only https://imgur.com/a/squadriglia-356-ziLkxla From Brioschi profile and the photo I posted seems possible that the ‘Mago Bacù’ cartoon was applied in the earlier t...

I checked Ca.133 and seems that the above (the colour of the plane is darker than the Bianco Neve of the red crosses and Italian flag) also for at least some of them (I-BULA and at least another one without civil immatriculation).

Ciao
Mario

Hi Quang, I don't know a close up photo, but the Bagu Il Mago cartoon was studied by Moncalvo and Massimiello and published in GMT notiziari (I don't know what year and number, maybe you can find at the following link) and in Araldica della Regia Aeronautica volume primo . I can scan it, but my scan...

Hi everyone, looking at B/W photos of (idro)Soccorso planes equipped with Cant.Z.506C and S and various Sanitari planes (Ca.309, Ca.312) and SM.75 with Red Cross symbols, refering mainly to Moncalvo and Massimiello researches published on GMT notiziari and Araldica della Regia Aeronautica volume ter...

Many thanks Administrator,
can I know your name?
I will let you know if I will find something about IMAM and Piaggio's logos.

Dear all, I have another question: - The first 12 S.79s – belonging to the first production series – arrived in Spain with the "classic" livery of three-color, hard-edge transverse/diagonal bands (livrea a bande trasversali/diagonali a bordi netti di tre colori), about which I have little to add or ...

Dear all, I have three questions regarding tha application of Cant.Z. circular logo on airplanes. 1) Was the circular Cant.Z. logo only applied to the Cant.Z. 506 Airone and 1007 Alcione, right? Regarding military serie production aircrafts only: 2) The logo was red on the Biano Neve Cant.Z. 506 med...

Dear all, I have a silly question. I bought from La Bancarella Aeronautica Colori e Insegne. Vol. 01. Regia aeronautica. Caccia ed Assalto. While the photo caption and the text are quite "flexible" regarding how many colours were applied to RA fighter planes before the introduction of Tavola 10 sche...

Many thanks,
I will wait for the article with high expectations.
Off Topic, regarding C.200 Color and Camouflage schemes, I'm waiting to receive a copy of the book Macchi MC.200 published by Gli Archivi Ritrovati.

Dear sirs, I hope I found you well. From my huge ignorance, especially in aeronautics, I was wondering if there was any systematic study on the coloring of the metal propeller blades of the Regia Aeronautica aircraft. From what I can gather, it should be a fairly well-known topic, but I can't find a...

Thanks Editor, 1) and 3) Planes in these photos seem to me showing a three colour camouflage, not 2, so likely green/brown/yellow from Serie Mimetica; and yes, the lighter color is close to white, so likely yellow. I'm puzzled by the fact the Decio Zorini identifies only two colours on these planes,...

Hi Editor, many thanks for your kind answer. I don't have a personal opinion regarding the specific colours used on Cant.Z. 1007 planes, but Decio Zorini in his STORIA Militare BRIEFING n°41 Cant.Z.1007 “ALCIONE” (October 2023) captioned the following photos as Z.1007 finished in NC4+VOS2: https://a...

Many thanks, sadly I don't know Your name, I'm Mario Raspagliosi, from Italy. Your answer are highly appreciated. 1) This point seems to me still quite inconclusive, a 4th colour (5th incuding the lower parts of the airplane) seems really difficult to identify 2-3) I'm not sure to understand if any ...

Dear Sirs, I'm new in the forum and I'm not an expert on RA topics. I recently finished reading Storia militare Briefing 41 on Cant.Z. 1007 and I had a doubt about the colors used in polycyclic camouflage schemes. According to "Colors and camouflage patterns of the Royal Air Force 1935-1943", compar...
