Hello guys.
For all of you interested on books about the italian torpedo/bomber S79 "Sparviero"(sparrowhawk) I would suggest this new series published , very detailed in drawings, images, study and research. Also a volume on the SVA has been published. A really amazing series with unseen info and tech data.

cheers

I have almost all published about the S79 but when found this newly series I realized how much there is to tell more in history and tech about that aircraft.

Tiberio, could you recommend any book for the Savoia Marchetti SM.73?

 

[Micdrow]

They look good but wish they where in English.

Unfortunately at the moment there is no monographic books about the Sm73. This is one of a main wishes together with SM81 many are asking for. I hope the "Gli archivi ritrovati" publishing authors could find more documents about SIAI MARCHETTI production, as well as seems considering what they said me. They are also good friends of mine and I reputate'm serious reasearcher and historians despite young.

I know that at least the first two books of the series, the "Capitolo I" and "Capitolo II" are just avbl in english full text. I'm not sure the third one in english txt is already avbl but it is possible within few time. Please ask for directly to authors. They'll replay as soon as possible.

I know there are many info about Sm55. Not a specifical one but old editions of aviation magazines of the 70-80 I believe quite rare. one of them were Aerofan magazine series from Giorgio Apostolo publishing. It is hard find something new today. Anyway if interested on manuals take a look here: manuali e nomenclatori

Hi all, I am one of the authors of the SIAI books. First of all I would like to correct my dear friend Sandokan... I am not young anymore.

yokes apart, there is consistent material on the S.73, sooner or later we will publish something about it. For the S.55 there is a LOT of technical informations, but they refer to several different versions of the plane, so we are slowly sorting out and checking all the material available. given the amount of time this activities requires, a s.55 book will not be published very soon.

thanks

Paolo

[sandokan]

Great news Paolo!!!!
Thank you and best wishes for your hard work you are doing!!

 

[sandokan]

Thank you for the answer.

Dear Wurger I apologize having forget there is a monographic book about SM81 where into are also some info on SM73. This is Ali D'Italia series, very nice and well complete monograph. Ita/Eng text.

 

[Wurger]

There is no need to appologize. Again thank you for your time.

Are there any nice drawings for SM.73 or the Pipistrello you can recommend?

Oh yes. Into the monograph there are full scale drawings for S81 . Let me look for the book in my library. I replay asap

 

[Wurger]

THX.

 

[sandokan]

These are two samples pages of the book. The SM81 was a direct derivative from Sm73, perfectly the same airframe in the early military series. The S81 was differing only for military turrets, bomber underbelly windows and internal arrangement due to bomb loading structure. If you take patient I'm going to look for old CMPR notiziario (periodically member magazine) with an article devoted to civil aircraft included the S73. I have to go to my family house to look for. I'm notice you about asap.

 

[Wurger]

Great !!! THX for posting.
