Hi all,

Can someone please confirm if this is a Savoia-Marchetti S.74? I believe only 3 were in Regia Aeronautica service.

Cheers, Dave

Hi all,

Can somebody identify this aircraft ?
The Breda-SAFAT machine gun is an 7.7mm or 12.7mm model ?

Umhhhh...perhaps you are right. It is difficult to ensure. The Hungarian planes had a different arrangement of lateral fuselage windows.
Perhaps one of the first Italian exemplars...
