ReviewsIn fact, this revised and updated edition is probably the most comprehensive book on the subject yet written. It makes this an outstanding reference for both the historian and for the modeler. It is a book that I thoroughly enjoyed reading and browsing through and I'm sure that you will agree. Highly recommended., Overall, an excellent book, on that should find its way on to your shelf, especially if you are interested in the Mediterranean theatre of operations or specifically the Regia Aeronautica. Highly recommended.

SynopsisThe book discusses area commands, theatres, squadron allocations, anti-shipping operations, aircrew, and details of the top Italian fighter aces., Derided by Allied propaganda which made it out to be an air force equipped solely with elderly biplanes, ineffective in attack or always in retreat, the Regia Aeronautica was overshadowed by its more ruthless Axis partner, the Luftwaffe. Using research from a mass of original documentation, including personal accounts and combat diaries, the author takes an objective view and shows that the men who flew the Macchis, Fiats, and Savoias were no less skilled or determined than their opponents. The book discusses area commands, theaters, squadron allocations, anti-shipping operations, aircrew, and details of the top fighter aces. Comprehensive tables provide information on aircraft equipment, squadron allocation, and unit histories. With drawings from original aircraft handbooks, almost 250 photographs, more than 100 color profiles, and unit badges, Courage Alone provides a detailed reference source for historians, modelers, and enthusiasts alike.

If this isn't the last word on the Italian Airforce, than..................
What a fantastic book. What attention to detail. What great photographs, which call your attention to the nuances in almost every photo. And broad in scope. One of the best WWII books I've bought in recent memory, on a topic that doesn't get much press (which is why I bought it to begin with). Chris Dunning has created a masterpiece.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
