A masterpiece by N.Malizia dealing with the Macchi MC.200, MC.202 and MC.205/V fighters of World War II that, despite going through dramatic times, still represent the fame of the Aeronautica Militare Italiana. Most of the photographs were never published before and are without any doubt absolutely interesting.
