Developed from a civil airliner, the first Sparvieros entered service with the Regia Aeron autica in late 1936, just in time to fly combat over Spain with the Aviacion Legion aria, the Italian con tingent fighting in support of the Nation alists. Its performance drew favourable comments from both sides, leading to a succession of export orders.An effective torpedo bomber as well, the S.M.79 served the air forces of Brazil, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Romania and Spain, some right up to the end of the war. The Romanians flew them on the Russian front from 1941 to 1944, an unprecedented record for an aircraft designed in the early 1930s.Though known as a tri-motor, several version s were built as twin-engined aircraft using a number of different powerplants, including Junkers Jumo 211D 1,220 hp inlines. Regardless of the version, its hand ling pleased most pilots and its ability to come home with extensive damage endeared it even more. Used throughout North Africa and the Mediterranean until the Italian surrender in September 1943, the Sparviero remained flying with both the Italian forces fighting alongside the Allies and the surviving pro-Nazi units.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe sure to check out our aircraft accessories, metal barrels, and seat belts!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block; margin: 0 0 1em 0; line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eWe are not responsible for any taxes, duty, VAT, customs or other fees on the receiver’s end.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck out our other items, and save on shipping!
