L’aviazione italiana nella Grande Guerra

The story of Italian aviation extends far beyond the fascinating tales of fighter aces or legendary exploits like D'Annunzio's raid on Vienna during the First World War. It's a narrative of men and machines, where technology and strategy intertwine to create a well-rounded air force capable of fulfilling its duties in wartime.

As theories on bombing emerged within doctrinal debates involving figures like Douhet and Caproni, commanders pragmatically employed them.
Bomber actions aimed to counter the operational capabilities of opposing forces, while most squadrons directly supported ground forces with reconnaissance, observation, communication, and ground attack roles. They operated under the protection of fighters whose tactics were evolving beyond individualistic approaches.

This book delves into this rich history, exploring the development of Italian aviation, from its early days to its role in shaping military strategies and tactics. It's a comprehensive account of the men, machines, and missions that defined Italian aviation throughout its evolution.
